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.

Pickled Vegetable Appetizer

 

Ingredients

1 stephen ceideburg
1 cup sliced red or white radishes
1/2 cup sliced english (hothouse) cucumber
1/2 cup diagonally sliced carrot
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp umeboshi vinegar *
6 tbsp water
1 lettuce leaves



 

Preparation

* available in Asian markets or natural foods stores, or use white
vinegar

A vinegar made from umeboshi plums lends the vegetables a rosy hue,
that contrasts with green lettuce leaves.

In a medium bowl, toss together the radishes, cucumber, carrot and
salt. Let sit at room temperature
2 hours.

Press vegetables gently in a colander, to drain off liquid. Return
vegetables to bowl.

In a saucepan, bring the vinegar and water to a boil. Cool, then pour
over vegetables. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 24
hours.

To serve, arrange chilled pickled vegetables on lettuce leaves.
