LAMB AND APRICOT CANAPES



Lamb and Apricot Canapes image

These tasty canapés can be completely made and baked ahead. When cool remove from the muffin pan and store them tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, place the canapés on a cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 375°F oven for about 7 minutes. No need to put them back into the muffin pan. You can use larger molds such as 4-inch ramekins to make larger servings instead of canapé-size, good for lunch or first course portions with crunchy salads. This recipe is from the California Sheep Commission.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe apricots: Ripe apricots are sweeter and have a more intense flavor, making them ideal for canapés. Look for fruits that are plump, brightly colored, and have no blemishes.
  • Prep your apricots: Wash the apricots thoroughly and pat them dry. If desired, you can peel the apricots before slicing them. If using dried apricots, soak them in warm water for 15 minutes before using.
  • Use high-quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will significantly impact the flavor of your canapés. Opt for high-quality cheeses that complement the sweetness of the apricots, such as goat cheese, brie, or cream cheese.
  • Add some crunch: To add texture and crunch to your canapés, consider incorporating nuts, seeds, or crispy breadcrumb. These ingredients will add a delightful contrast to the soft apricots and cheese.
  • Experiment with different flavors: Apricot canapés are a versatile appetizer that can be customized to suit your taste. Try adding herbs, spices, or other fruits to create unique and flavorful combinations.

Conclusion:

Apricot canapés are a delightful and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With their vibrant colors, sweet and tangy flavors, and endless variations, these canapés are sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for an easy and delicious appetizer, give apricot canapés a try. You won't be disappointed!
