Everybody likes Sandwiches
I love parties. Not only am I fan of socializing with friends and drinking one too many cocktails, but I'm in love with the food. Nibblies, dips and things on sticks help to make up the wonderful world of appetizers.
One of the easiest things to whip up are these glamourous little bites. They look beautiful and they taste just as good. You can find peppadew peppers in the deli section of fancy grocery stores or on the shelves near the olives in your local ethnic grocery. They're slightly sweet and slightly pickled, and when stuffed with an herby goat cheese make an elegant little nosh.
Peppadew Peppers stuffed with Herbed Goat Cheese1/2 small log of goat cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
zest of 1/2 lemon, finely chopped
a good grind of black pepper
a tiny pinch of kosher salt
12 peppadew peppers
In a small bowl, mix together the goat cheese, chives, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Using the tip of a butter knife, stuff each pepper with the cheese mixture. Alternatively, if you're feeling fancy, you can use a pastry bag to pipe the cheese mixture into the peppers. La dee da!
