The Internet is replete with umpteen fashionable appetizer recipes. Not all of them are easy to make. Yet, while throwing a buffet lunch for your friends you cannot but think of easy appetizers: appetizers that will make your guests drool for the main course. In this article let’s discuss about certain things that you should keep in mind while planning for your appetizers and we will also share with you some cool appetizer recipes.
Every party has a theme. Your menu becomes truly fashionable when your theme gets reflected into your appetizers. For instance, wouldn’t it be trendy if you choose Mexican appetizers for a carnival-type gathering or Caribbean-style appetizers for a tropical party? After you have decided upon your appetizer recipes, you should be ready to experiment a bit. This will add a touch of uniqueness to your easy appetizers. You should not ignore the accompaniments of your appetizers either. For example, in a wine tasting party, you should serve appetizers that compliment your wine. Again, if you have arranged a heavy main course, your appetizers shouldn’t be too heavy and shouldn’t use ingredients from your main course either.
Before I share with you some cool appetizer recipes, let’s look at the classifications under which appetizers fall. The first classification is easy appetizers - appetizers that are easy to make and are not much complicated from the standpoint of ingredients. The second category is healthy appetizers. These appetizers highlight the health factor (mostly comprising of veggie ingredients). The third category is cheap appetizers, appetizers that appeal to people who can’t afford to buy costly ingredients. The last category is choicest appetizers – appetizers that are fashionable, not too difficult to make, yet appeal to guests near and afar. They might be a bit costly to make but the taste is really awesome!
Now let us share some cool, fashionable appetizer recipes. Let’s begin with All Natural Tahini Chocolate Shake. This appetizer is rich in protein and energy though without any added sugar. You will need frozen banana; 2 tbsp (30 mL) good quality tahini; 3/4 cup (175 mL) water; 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla; and 1 tbsp (15 mL) cocoa powder. Now place all these ingredients in blender, blend well, and serve immediately.
Next, let’s learn how to make Apple and Swiss Pizza. You will need: 3 tbsp (45 mL) pizza sauce; 5 tbsp (75 mL) apple sauce; Salt and freshly ground pepper; 1-16″ pizza crust (40 cm), pre-baked; 1 small red onion, minced; 1/2 lb (225 g) Canadian Swiss cheese, grated; 2 tbsp (30 mL) fresh chopped parsley; 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil; 2 tsp (10 mL) cider vinegar; 1 apple, diced; and 2 cups (500 mL) baby spinach cut into strips. First combine pizza sauce with apple sauce and season them. Next, spread out the pizza crust and use the minced onion for garnishing. Mix parsley with cheese and sprinkle the mix over pizza. Bake the pizza on the middle oven rack for about 5-7 minutes until the cheese turns golden. You may serve immediately or let it cool for a while before serving. Cutting into bite-sized pieces is a good idea. You add color and flavor to this appetizer by the following step. Mix olive oil and vinegar. Add apples and spinach, season them and toss well. Spread this yummy paste atop chilled pizza pieces or as a side dish for dipping.
