Easy Food for entertaining......
A very belated Happy New Year to everyone; I was incredibly busy leading up to Christmas with a heavy workload and family functions which took the place of my blog. However, I am now back on track.
The festive season I hope for all of you, was rewarding and most enjoyable, albeit our summer in Victoria hasn't been wonderful, but rather erratic weather wise, but very pleasant for entertaining.
Speaking of which, here is a recipe I came across during the summer break and it is delicious and oh so easy, which is what I love. I hope you like it and would welcome your comments.
9 ounces fresh goat cheese
6 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
6 tablespoons finely chopped pistachios
1-1/2 tbsp finely crushed pink peppercorns mixed with 1-1/2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
DIRECTIONS
1. Cut each log of goat cheese into 18 pieces and shape goat cheese into balls.
2. Arrange chives, pistachios and pink peppercorn/parsley mixture each into 3 small bowls. Roll goat cheese "truffles" into choice of coatings and place on a baking tray or plate. Chill until ready to serve.
I am not what you would call a great cook. I don't really enjoy cooking the mundane day to day dishes, so when I come across a recipe that is easy but looks attractive and tastes delicious, I'm very willing to try it and I loved this one. A very good start to a luncheon or alternatively at the end of the meal with a lovely glass of wine of your choice.
Do you have a special recipe to share or do you like to keep them to yourself? Perhaps you might like to share one with me particularly if it is easy and quite impressive on the plate and palate, of course!
I would love to know your thoughts on this one...Enjoy!.........Wendy
