With a bit preparation time spent a day ahead, or, in some cases, still a week, and some help from your gracious superstore, you can serve an overwhelming meal with our easy party recipe ideas. If you take pleasure in amusing, you obviously want to serve your guests great food, but may not have the time, energy or the know-how to put together a wonderful feast. Do not let this stand in your way! A nice collection of appetizers gets your party off to a terrific and tasty start. Our sample menu below will knock the socks off your guests, with you enjoying every minute, right along with your guests. Sound too good to be true? Well, let’s see! Most of these appetizers can be prepared in minutes.
1. Make use of some aid from your friends in the freezer aisle for this simple party recipe. Pick up a bag, or two, depending on the number of guests, of pre-cooked cocktail size meatballs. Supply cocktail toothpicks for easy eating. Serve up on a platter, with a ramekin of horseradish on one side, and one of sweet-and-sour sauce on the other.
2. With tails on, arrange cold cooked prawns in a circle around a serving plate. Tie a couple of blades of chives around the tail portion and dish up with a bowl of cocktail sauce in the center for dipping.
3. This easy party recipe is a incomplete do-ahead. Bag them up and refrigerate. Slice pesto sausage into 1-inch thick pieces and saute until done. Thinly slice Parmesan cheese and cut squares to fit the sausage half an hour prior to party time. Skewer whole black olives to top each sausage slice and set on one side of a warming plate. (You will utilize the other half of the warmer for appetizer #4.)
4. Crackers and Brie makes a neat adding to your appetizer schedule. Just before serving, warm the Brie gently, only until it is slightly runny. Put it on a plate and surround with crackers. Magnifique!
5. Here is another easy and quick party recipe do-ahead. Bag up and store in the frig. Slip them on to the warming plate, with a votive holder full of cocktail toothpicks on each side. Half an hour before you expect guests, brush the slices with a mesquite or honey flavored barbecue sauce. Julienne boneless, skinless chicken breasts and saute in olive oil.
Sliced mushrooms, marinated artichoke hearts, tomato wedges, sliced cucumbers, diced red Spanish onions, croutons – whatever strikes your fancy – are just a few ideas. Easy party recipes are ones that are easy on the cook! For your greens, make a large bowl of salad. Your guests can make their custom salad according to their preference. Fill a salad dressing cruet with a good quality Italian dressing. Using a deep wooden salad bowl, rub the sides and bottom with olive oil and a clove of fresh garlic. For your entrees, two of the easiest solutions to your easy party recipes are a baked ham or succulent roast beef. Fill your bowl with hearts of Romaine and mesclun. Mix it up. The old ‘rules’ on wine selection no longer apply. You needn’t stick to red for beef, white for chicken, etcetera.
A triple layered chocolate fudge cake, Boston crème pie, or a fresh strawberry pie topped with real whipping cream will please the most discerning of guests. In separate dishes around the salad bowl, provide an assortment of salad additions of your choosing. Now, for the finale, dessert. There are so many fantastic choices which do not cost much more than if you were to bake it yourself. Here again, rely on a commercial bakery for your easy party recipe.
Who said that easy party recipes had to be home made? Your guests will never know that you didn’t spend days on this delightful repast! Neither requires much watching. Just time the cooking so that they’re ready about an hour after guests arrive. Give a white, red and rose in sufficient quantity – in case you have a run on red, the remainder can go into the wine cellar for later consumption! By the time they have had a possibility to get pleasure from the appetizers and salad, dinner’s ready!
