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

 

Ingredients

1 whole heads of garlic
1 toasted rounds french bread
1 softened sweet butter



 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Remove the papery outer covering of
whole garlic head, but do not seperate the cloves or peel them. Place
as many whole heads of garlic on a large square of heavy-duty
aluminum foil as there are people to be served. Fold up foil so that
the cloves are completely wrapped. Bake in the preheated oven for 1
hour 15 minutes. Serve each diner a head of garlic and some bread and
butter. Separate cloves. Hold a clove over a piece of buttered bread
and squeeze. The garlic puree will pop out, like toothpaste from a
tube. Spread and eat. GARLIC PUREE: To make a batch of Garlic Puree
for later use, let roasted heads of garlic cool, unwarapped for at
least 5 minutes. Gently separate the cloves and squeeze each one over
a fine meshed sieve, so that the softened garlic pops into the sieve.
With wooden spatula or wooden spoon, rub garlic through the sieve
into a small container or bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and
refrigerate the puree if needed. QUICK PUREE: If you are in a hurry,
you may skip the refinement of the sieve. Simply squeeze the cloves,
one by one, over a bowl. When they have all been squeezed, use a
rubber spatula to push the puree into a neat mound cover tightly with
plastic wrap, and refrigerate until needed. It will keep for months.
To keep indefinitely, cover with a film of olive oil.
