Chive and Pine Nut Dip with Sourdough Toasts

Ingredients for Chive and Pine Nut Dip with Sourdough Toasts

• 3/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh chives plus 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives (2 to 3 bunches)

• 60 ml vegetabilisk olja

• 3/8 teaspoons salt

• 1 (12-inch-long) sourdough baguette, sliced diagonally 1/8 inch thick

• 40g pine nuts (30g)

• 100g mascarpone (130g) at room temperature

• 2 tablespoons cream cheese at room temperature

Purée 3/4 cup chives with oil and 1/8 teaspoons salt in a blender until smooth, then chill 1 hour.

While chive oil stands, put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 191°C. Divide bread slices between 2 baking sheets and toast, switching position of sheets halfway through toasting, until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Leave oven on.

Toast pine nuts in a shallow baking pan in lower third of oven, shaking pan occasionally, until pale golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Cool, then coarsely chop.

Pour chive oil through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, pressing on and then discarding solids. Stir in pine nuts and remaining 2 tablespoons chives.

Whisk together mascarpone, cream cheese, and remaining 1/4 teaspoons salt in a bowl until smooth. Fold in chive oil with pine nuts until cream is streaked (do not mix in thoroughly). Transfer dip to a shallow bowl and serve with toasts.
