Since this board is full of wonderful food and tastefull idea's, i tought it was time for a special thread. Share your recipes, please.
To end those annoying: ' I'm having folks for dinner and don't know what to cook ' moments or to ease those 'i want to cook something different' needs.
I'll kick off with an appetizer.
"Coated Plums"
-Some candied plums (i suggest 4 to 6 plums the person)
-Smoked chicken
-Bacon
-Cocktail sticks
-Fresh coriander
-1 small red onion or a few shallots
-Freshly grinded black pepper
Take the kernels from the plums and make an incision in the length of the
plums. Fill the plums with some smoked chicken.
Then roll the stuffed plum in a slice of bacon -make sure it's wrapped up tight- and put a cocktail stick through the package, to keep the bacon at it's place while being fried.
Fry the coated plums in a firepan, -no need to add oil- for about 5 to 7 minutes on a high fire. Then put them on a plate and let them cool off for a while untill they are lukewarm.
In the meanwhile cut the onion(s) in really thin slices and take the coriander leafs from the stem. Take the cocktail stick from the package and stick it on top. When it's time to serve: sprinkle the coriander leafs and sliced onions over the plums and add some fresh grinded black pepper.
For diversity and/or vegetarians:
instead of plums you can use candied dates. Also, remove the kernel and make an incision over the length. instead of smoked chicken you can use Port Salut or another soft cheese to fill the dates. You don't have to bake these sweet appetizers, just put a cocktailstick on top and sprinkle with sliced onions and coriander leafs.. hmmmmmm.
Bon Appetit! Enjoy your meal! Selamat Makan! Smakelijk eten!
