Crostini with Spanish ham and sweet pointed pepper

• 

Preparation:

1 Pre-heat the grill. Cut the ciabatta into 8 slices. Crush the garlic above the oil and then add the rosemary. Lightly spread the ciabatta slices with the garlic oil and toast them under the grill for approx. 3 min. until golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning them.

2 Remove the stem and the seeds from the pointed pepper and thinly slice the flesh into rings. Heat the remaining garlic oil in a frying pan and stir-fry the pepper over a medium heat for approx. 3 min. until al dente.

3 Arrange the ham on the toasted ciabatta and top with the pepper rings. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
