Anchovy Tomato Bruschetta

Series 13 – Festive Bites – Pantry Rescue!, Episode 3
Anchovy Tomato Bruschetta

This quick and delicious appetizer is a reminder that some of the most flavorful bites come straight from the pantry.

Tomato paste, garlic, and olive oil form a rich, concentrated base, but the real secret is anchovies — finely minced so they melt right into the mixture.

They don’t make the dish taste fishy; instead, anchovies bring umami, that deep savory quality that makes everything else taste more like itself.

Festive Bites – Pantry Rescue!
The holidays tend to pull us in many directions at once, and even the most dedicated from-scratch cooks need a tactical shortcut now and then.

In this series we’ll explore how to transform ordinary pantry staples into small, elegant, technique-driven appetizers — the kind you can make quickly but still be proud to serve.

The dishes in this series are the perfect solution for unexpected guests or for that last-minute party invitation when you want to show up with something thoughtful and delicious… without adding more stress to the season.

You’ll see how to coax big flavor and refined texture out of items most of us keep on hand — canned beans, tomatoes, tuna, artichoke hearts, water chestnuts and coconut milk, and packaged rice, noodles, and other pantry classics.
