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.

Roasted Garlic With Fresh Thyme & Goat Cheese

 

Ingredients

4 plump heads of garlic
3/4 cup defatted reduced-sodium
1 chicken stock
8 sprigs, up to ...
10 sprigs fresh thyme
1 salt & freshly ground black
1 pepper to taste
4 oz log creamy goat cheese,
1 cut into 4 portions
4 slice lightly toasted sourdough or
1 peasant bread



 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. With a sharp knife, cut off and discard
the upper third of each garlic head, exposing the cloves. (Leave the
skin intact below the cut.) Set the garlic heads, cut-side up, in a
small baking dish or grating dish just large enough to hold them.
Pour chicken stock over the garlic, add thyme sprigs and season
lightly with salt and pepper. Cover the dish tightly with heavy-duty
aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour, or until each clove is soft to the
touch and the skin resembles lightly browned parchment. Serve the
garlic with the cooking juices spooned over and pass goat cheese and
bread separately. To eat, break off a piece of bread and spread with
a small amount of cheese, then scoop out the garlic puree from one of
the cloves with the tip of a knife and spread on top.
