Chickpea Bruschetta Recipes

This Recipe Adds a New Twist to Traditional Bruschetta Recipes

— September 5, 2017 — Lifestyle
This chickpea bruschetta recipe is playfully described as a "cook's treat" – an appetizer that the cook can enjoy while making dinner.

The recipe, which was created by Laura Vitale, provides an elevated update to traditional Italian bruschetta recipes. It involves lightly mashing chickpeas and then combining them with sundried tomatoes (with their oil), lemon zest and lemon juice, parsley, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Then the cook simply toasts sliced ciabatta bread on both sides, rubs it with garlic, adds the chickpea mixture and then drizzles the chickpea bruschetta with olive oil.

For a final garnish, cook's have the optional choice of shaving some parmigiano-reggiano or ricotta salata on top of this recipe.
Trend Themes
1. Plant-based Appetizers - There is an opportunity for businesses to create innovative plant-based appetizers using ingredients like chickpeas for a healthier twist on traditional recipes.
2. Creative Bruschetta Variations - Entrepreneurs can explore new and unique bruschetta recipes that incorporate unexpected ingredients like chickpeas to add a modern twist to this classic dish.
3. Convenient Cook's Treats - There is potential for businesses to develop convenient and enjoyable cook's treats, like chickpea bruschetta, that can be enjoyed while preparing dinner.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry can take advantage of the growing interest in plant-based appetizers and creatively inspired variations of classic dishes like bruschetta.
2. Health and Wellness - The health and wellness industry can leverage the use of chickpeas and other plant-based ingredients to promote healthier alternatives to traditional appetizers.
3. Convenience/prepared Food - The convenience or prepared food industry can explore the concept of cook's treats and develop ready-to-eat or quick-to-prepare appetizers that can be enjoyed while cooking.
