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.

Tempura

 

Ingredients

1 lb shrimp, prepared w/tails
1 cup asparagus, 1 pieces
1 cup carrots, 1/4 slices
1 cup celery, 1/4 slices
1 cup cauliflower, flowerettes
1 cup zucchini, 1/2x2 sticks
1 cup green beans, 2 pieces
1 cup green onions, 2 pieces
1 bell pepper, cut into rings
1 onion, medium, cut into ring
1 parsley, bunch
1 cup snow peas
1 sweet potato, 1/8 slices
1 vegetable oil
1 tempura batter recipe
1 tempura sauce recipe



 

Preparation

Make several crosswise slits on the underside of shrimp to
prevent curling. Parboil green beans. Pat shrimp and vegetables
dry; arrange on platter; cover and refridgerate until serving time.
Prepare batter and sauce recipes. Do not make batter recipe too far
ahead of time.
Heat oil in a wok to 360 degrees. Dep shrimp and vegetables into
batter with tongs; allow excess batter to drip into bowl. Fry a few
pieces at a time until golden brown, turning once (cooking time
approximately 2-3 minutes). This is best prepared close to or at
the table. It is great fun to have a "tempura party" with guests
cooking their own. Serve with sauce and rice. (you may need more
batter mix depending on the amounts of seafood and vegetables you
prepare). Does not keep well once cooked.
