Chicken & Black Truffle Pâté Crostini with Garlic Roasted Kale

     If you aren't very familiar with French cuisine, here's your chance to be a bit daring. You can find the ingredients to make this dish at your local Trader Joe's, and you can prepare it for a reasonable price. You will need one carton of chicken liver and black truffle pâté (about $5). A large log of Chevre (goat cheese, also about $5) a baguette and a bag of kale. You can feed 4-5 people with these ingredients at just under $15.00.

Preheat your oven to 400F.

Slice the baguette into 1 inch pieces.

Lay flat on a baking sheet and lightly brush with olive oil.

Toast very slightly in your oven, take the mini toasts out and flip over. Let cool.

While they are cooling, rinse kale and lightly toss in olive oil and garlic. Add salt and pepper to your liking.

Put the kale in a oven safe dish and roast for 15 minutes.

Spread a layer of chevre over each toast, then do the same with the pâté. Return the crostini to the oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until yousee the edges become crispy and the pâté bubbling. Remove from oven and cool.

Enjoy!
