Title: Master class - making Canapés
Post by: Nay-nay on November 26, 2010, 01:04:00 am
I've been away for a Hen's Party Cooking Class!!! This is what we made:
Canapés
1) Freshly made Makizushi (sushi)
2) Confit Duck and Foie Gras tortellini w/ lemon Beurre Blanc
3) Mushroom Galette Confit Cherry Tomato
4) Beef Kofta with a Mint Raita
5) Salmon Perls with a Verjuice Dressing

Has anyone had the second one??? Do you know what it is??? Goose Liver - we were all like "what!!!!" but it was the most divine little morsel ever!! And guess what I even won ~ a bottle of wine.  8)  LOL - ok I've had my little boast now - I have all these recipes if anyone is interested.  ;)

 Sure thing - tell me how it works out. You can easily mix up meat mixture and then Raita in TMX.  ;)
Beef Kofta with a Mint Raita
Beef Kofta
1) Finely dice an onion and place it in a bowl with beef mince, turmeric, cayenne
pepper, mint, salt and pepper.
2) Use your hands to press the mixture together into small logs, place a on the
end of a small bamboo skewer.
3) Cook on grill or under pre-heated gril.
Mint Raita
1) Cut a cucumber down the middle and remove the ends, and scoop the seeds
out with a spoon.
2) Dice the cucumber very finely and place in a bowl, mix with cumin, cayenne
pepper, lemon juice, mint and salt and pepper.
Presentation
Place the Beef Kofta skewers on a plate and drizzle with the Raita.

Yep - this was sooo very easy but yummy! I'm not sure where I would source the caviar  :-\
Salmon Pearls with a Verjuice Dressing
1) Very finely dice spring onions and chives place in a bowl and add salmon eggs. Bring it together.
2) In another bowl pour verjuice into it and add a splash of Botrytis Semillon, whisk
and add a small amount of olive oil.
Presentation
In a Chinese spoon place onion and shallot mixture. Whisk then pour the verjuice
dressing over the top.

What a wonderful idea for a hens party!!!  I have just been on a hens day too.  We drove around the countryside on a bus, drinking champagne and having high tea at a rather posh hotel whilst wearing decorated thongs.  I think the cooking class sounds like more my style!  ;) :)

Chelsea you should probably clarify that thongs are shoes in Australia  :D
