Crostini Toscane
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 pound rabbit livers
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
- 2 anchovy fillets, rinsed and patted dry
- 1 tablespoon hot red pepper flakes
- 1 cup dry red wine
- Salt and pepper
- 12 slices Italian peasant bread, cut 3/4-inch thick
- Preheat the grill or broiler.
- In a 10 to 12-inch saute pan, heat the olive oil slowly over medium heat.
- Add the onion and cook slowly until soft, but not brown, about 10 minutes.
- Add the livers, capers, anchovies, and red pepper flakes, and cook until lightly browned, about 8 minutes.
- Add the wine and cook until only 3 to 4 tablespoons of liquid remain, about 8 minutes.
- Transfer the liver mixture to a food processor and pulse on and off until blended but still lumpy -- it should not be smooth like a puree.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove to a small mixing bowl.
- Grill or toast the bread on both sides and spread each piece with 1 heaping tablespoon of the liver mixture.
- Divide among 6 to 8 plates and serve immediately.
