INSTRUCTIONS

To make Basic Tomato Sauce: In a 3-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil
over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until soft and
light golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the thyme and the
carrot, and cook until the carrot is soft, about 5 minutes. Crush
tomatoes and add them with their juice, and bring to a boil, stirring
often. Lower the heat, and simmer until thick, about 30 minutes.
Season with salt and serve. This sauce will keep refrigerated for one
week and up to six months in the freezer. (Makes 4 cups) To make the
Green Olive Pesto: In a food processor, combine the olives, onion,
pine nuts, and garlic and blend for 1 minute. With the motor running,
slowly add the olive oil until it forms a thick, smooth paste. Allow
to stand 1/2 hour before using. (Makes 2-1/2 cups) Brush mushrooms
clean and break into pieces. In a heavy 4-quart saucepan, combine the
mushrooms, red onion, red-pepper flakes, scallions, garlic, wine,
tomatoes, and 1 cup of Basic Tomato Sauce, and bring to a boil. Lower
the heat, and simmer, partially covered, for 20 minutes. The mixture
should be thick, like a ragu. Season to taste with salt and pepper,
and transfer to a large, shallow serving bowl. Toast the bread and
smear with 1 cup of Green Olive Pesto. Stand the crostini upright at
varying angles in the mushroom hodge-podge, and serve immediately.
