New Year canapé recipes
Make your party the talk of the town with our great New Year’s Eve canapé recipes...
Chilli prawns
Stir fry large sized prawns in a wok with a little chilli powder until pink and present them in a bowl with chilli sauce and cocktail sticks to hand. Remember, quantity is always inviting so prepare a generous amount.
Mini Yorkshire puddings with rare roast beef and horseradish
The mini Yorkshire puddings can be brought from any leading supermarket. Place a small teaspoon of horseradish inside and then a tight wrap of cured beef. Warm in the oven and watch them disappear!
Exotic fruits
A selection of canapés should always include something sweet. Try placing pieces of exotic fruits such as mango, pineapple, paw paw and melon on a skewer -- but first marinade in Grand Marnier!
Chocolate strawberries
Another delicious sweet idea is to buy fresh strawberries and to dip them in melting chocolate. Allow to cool and place on a tray.
Quails eggs
If you have the patience, quail eggs are always popular. Simply boil them, and shell them, then serve in a basket with celery salt. You can also serve these also in a glass trumpet vase filled with display straws or fabric and place the bowl of quails eggs on top with a separate dish of celery salt.
Fresh oysters
Just serve them. Success guaranteed.
