christmas recipes around the world
What are some good christmas appetizer recipes from around the world??/?
I am in charge of theme for my office’s annual christmas party. I decided on Christmas Around The World. I would like to start off the evening with some different appetizers that are enjoyed in different countries around the world. I already have Spanikopitas from Greece and Sushi from Japan… WHAT ELSE CAN I SERVE???
SAGANAKI-FRIED CHEESE
1/3 lb. Kasseri cheese
1 egg
1 tbsp. milk
Flour
Olive oil for pan frying
Brandy
Lemon juice
Cut a slice of Kasseri cheese about 1/3 inch thick. Mix egg with the milk. Dip cheese into the egg mixture, then dip into flour. Fry in a bit of oil in a heavy frying pan on medium heat until golden brown. Then turn. Flame with brandy, if you wish, but be careful. Add a squirt of lemon juice when the flame dies down. Serve with crackers or crusty bread.
SHRIMP AND SAGA CROUTONS APPETIZER
28 uncooked med. shrimp
3 tbsp. unsalted butter
3 tbsp. olive oil
14 (1/3″ thick) French bread baguette slices
1 (6 oz.) wedge Saga blue cheese, room temperature
4 sprigs fresh rosemary, stems removed, leaves chopped
Bring large saucepan of water to boil. Add shrimp and cook until just pink, about 2 minutes. Drain and cool. Peel and devein shrimp. (Can be prepared one day ahead and refrigerated. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature before using.)
Melt butter with oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bread slices in batches and cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to cookie sheet. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cool croutons. Cover, let stand at room temperature.)
Preheat broiler. Put shrimp on top of croutons, then spread with cheese. Broil 4 inches from heat source until cheese melts and shrimp are heated through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to platter and sprinkle with rosemary. Makes 14.
Note: Don’t cook too long. You just want the blue cheese to melt and bubble a little. The rosemary keeps the blue cheese from being too strong.
