Now we didn't have dinner at 9 pm on Thanksgiving day, but I did take my time getting the meal together so we could eat in the evening. With that in mind, I don't serve lunch but I do like to have heavy appetizers out that people can graze on throughout the afternoon while we are cooking and watching football. This year I planned some appetizers with a little Italian flair and consulted Pinterest and some of my favorite cooking blogs to help me come up with some quick and delicious appetizers. Here is what we came up with:
Thanksgiving Day Appetizers
- Antipasti of olives, marinated artichoke hearts, peppers, mozzarella bocconcini, and prosciutto
- Rosemary White Bean Dip
- Crudités
- Brie en Croûte with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Thyme
- Crackers, pita chips, and toasts
Rosemary White Bean Dip
Ingredients:
- 15 oz. can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley
- 1/2 Tbs. fresh rosemary leaves
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- 1 garlic clove
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Combine cannellini beans and next 4-5 ingredients in a food processor. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pulse to combine and stream in olive oil until smooth and fully combined. Serve immediately with crudités, pita chips, and crackers or cover and refrigerate until serving.

ReplyDeleteTo cool hot food quickly, place it in the coolest place you can find - often not in the kitchen. Another way is to put the food in a clean, sealable container, and put it under a running cold water tap or in a basin of cold water, or use ice packs in cool bags. Thieb veau
