Appetizers are small first course dishes presented before the entree or main meal.


These are typically served at the beginning of the meal in order to inspire the appetite.

Frequently referred to as the "First Course." These normally consist of small portions of cold or hot foods (such as a salad, egg roll, crab cakes, buffalo wings etc) which are intended to set the digestive fluids to their duties and in doing so whet the appetite for the other courses to come.

Different cultures will have their own particular variations, for example:

  • Tapas (Spain)
  • Mezedakia (Greece)
  • Antipasto (Italy)


Although normally served before a main course, appetizers also make ideal finger food for parties and entertaining. You may also like to create a whole meal beased on selection of different appetizers.

These appetizers are part of our collection of over 60,000 recipes.

Philly Soft Pretzels

 

Ingredients

1 tbsp dry yeast
1 1/4 cup warm water 4 c flour
2 tsp salt
1 kosher or margarita salt



 

Preparation

Dissolve yeast thoroughly in 1/4 cup warm water. Mix 3 cups flour
and salt in large bowl. Add yeast with remaining 1 cup water. Add
enough additional flour to make dough stiff. Knead 10 minutes or till
dough feels elastic. Form into ball. Place in bowl and spread with
butter. Cover with towel and let rise till doubled, about 45 minutes.
Divide dough into 12 small balls and roll between hands (or on
counter) to form a rope. Form into pretzel shapes, wetting and
pinching ends firmly. Dissolve baking soda in 4 cups water and bring
to a boil. Drop pretzels, a few at a time, in water and boil till
they float to the top, about 1 minute. Remove and drain. Place on
buttered baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and bake at 475 for 15-20
minutes or till golden brown. Place on rack to cool. I used to make
these a lot when my husband had to do field time in the army.
According to all the guys, they warm up pretty good and are excellent
with some German scharfer senf (sharp/hot mustard).
