Steve Silverman of South Burlington, Vermont, writes: "In my cooking I tend to be very quick and health-conscious. During the summer, my wife, Mary, and I usually grill chicken or fish and make salads. I'll use whatever fresh vegetables and ingredients I have on hand and come up with a wonderful meal for the two of us."

Serve this party appetizer with the toasted-baguette rounds or your favorite crackers. You can also double the tomato topping for a great pasta salad.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 8 to 10 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons whole coriander seeds
2 12-ounce bags or baskets cherry tomatoes, stemmed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
4 teaspoons chopped fresh marjoram
1 sourdough baguette, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Stir coriander seeds in heavy small skillet over medium heat until aromatic, about 1 minute. Cool seeds 10 minutes. Place in plastic bag; crush coarsely with mallet.

    Combine tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and crushed red pepper on rimmed baking sheet; toss to blend. Sprinkle generously with salt.

    Step 3

    Arrange bread slices on baking sheet. Bake until just beginning to color, about 5 minutes. Mound tomato topping on toasts. Arrange on platter and serve.
