ROASTED PEPPER AND HORSERADISH CANAPES
These delicious little canapés are impressively easy to make, especially when you have unexpected guests or don’t have the time to invest in something more intricate. I love them!
Makes as many as you want
1 box Triscuit crackers
sweet red roasted peppers, cut into ¾ inch squares
red hamburger relish, locate in the relish section of supermarket
prepared horseradish
On each cracker place a square of roasted pepper.
Top with 1/4 -1/2 teaspoon of red hamburger relish.
Top the relish with a tiny dollop of horseradish, no larger than a pea.
Place crackers on platter and serve within 1 hour. Do not refrigerate, or crackers will become soggy.
Notes: To variate: Place a ripe slice of avocado under or in place of the roasted pepper square. When using avocado, serve immediately, and don’t use avocado with brown spots on it; cut around them.
The red relish adds a nice spice quality to the flavor achievement and a pleasing color contrast to the color achievement. Great tasting hors d’oeuvres don’t have to be difficult to make nor contain a lot of ingredients.
