One was kaki (persimmon) with bleu cheese and honey. Well, actually the original recipe had an addition of jam, but I thought honey and jam would make things a bit too sweet. After trying it, the sweet and salty combo is nice but I think you could nix the honey.
The other was to fill red bell pepper "boats" with your favorite dip--I used smoked salmon dip.
I have another smoked salmon dip on this blog here.
The recipe I used this time around isn't really a recipe.
It uses the food processor and is really fast and simple. In a food processor, put in some smoked salmon, some cream cheese and some italian parsley--the amounts are up to you, if you want it creamier, add more cream cheese, more "salmon-y" add more smoked salmon.
After you whizz it to the consistency of your choice, fill some red bell pepper boats...fun finger food!
It's Friday here, I hope your weekend is a nice one.
That is a cool idea for persimmons. I think there still might be some in the produce section so I hope to try this.
ReplyDeleteNice combo Kat! We recently had something very similar at a pretty fancy "farm to table" place.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can get your hands on some persimmons, Rowena, tell me what you think if you try this.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kirk, hope to hear about this "farm to table" place :)
Take care you two.
