Yield Makes about 60 canapés

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup walnuts
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup shelled fresh fava beans* or lima beans (about 3/4 pound in pods)
10 small purple potatoes* or small red potatoes (each about 2 inches in diameter; about 1 1/2 pounds)
6 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, softened
6 ounces cream cheese (about 3/4 cup), softened
*available at specialty produce markets and some specialty foods shops

Steps:

  • Finely chop walnuts. In a small heavy skillet cook walnuts in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until golden and transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
  • Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water. In a kettle of boiling salted water blanch beans 1 minute and immediately transfer with slotted spoon to ice water to stop cooking. Drain beans and gently peel away outer skins.
  • Return kettle of water to a boil and cut potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Cook potatoes 8 minutes, or until just tender, and transfer with slotted spoon to ice water to stop cooking. Drain potatoes in a colander and pat dry with paper towels.
  • In a small bowl stir together Gorgonzola and cream cheese until combined well. (Canapé ingredients may be prepared up to this point 2 days ahead. Keep toasted walnuts in an airtight container at room temperature. Chill beans and potatoes separately in sealable plastic bags and chill Gorgonzola cream covered with plastic wrap.)
  • To assemble canapés:
  • Spread about 1 teaspoon Gorgonzola cream on each potato slice and top each canapé with a bean, pressing down gently. Sprinkle canapés with walnuts. Canapés may be assembled 6 hours ahead and chilled, covered.

Yield Approximately 7 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
3 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp chili garlic sauce
1 Can of asparagus spears, drained

Place one spear of asparagus at one end of bread and roll up. Brush with butter and bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Gorgonzola: Opt for a high-quality, creamy, and flavorful gorgonzola cheese. Look for varieties that have been aged for at least 3 months, as they offer a more complex taste.
  • Balance the Flavors: Experiment with different flavor combinations to create a well-balanced canape. Consider pairing the richness of gorgonzola with sweet elements like honey or fruit, or savory ingredients like nuts or cured meats.
  • Texture is Key: Add textural contrast to your canapes. Incorporate crispy elements like toasted bread or crackers, creamy components like gorgonzola mousse, and crunchy toppings like chopped walnuts or pistachios.
  • Presentation Matters: Take the time to arrange your canapes attractively. Use colorful ingredients and garnish with herbs, edible flowers, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for an elegant touch.
  • Keep it Simple: While it's tempting to go all out with your canapes, remember that simplicity often yields the best results. Focus on a few key ingredients and let their flavors shine through.
