Party food
8 Answers
I have a few friends coming over at the weekend and would like to do some nibbles. Want to make them myself to give myself something to do during the day and also to be a bit different from the usual supermarket/M+S fayre!
Any ideas on what I could do that would be simple?

Mini quiches are always nice when done in a muffin tray
Vol-au-vents...buy the pastry cases from tescos then mix up some small prawns with thousand island, mushrooms in a white sauce, chicken in curried mayonaise etc
Honey roasted spuds. get a pack of new or charlotte potatoes, drizzle in olive oil and runny honey and roast in the oven until cooked.
Dried apricots wrapped in bacon....bit of a slant on the traditional devils on horseback. Two dried apricots, wrap in a thin rasher of bacon...preferably streaky, impale on a cocktail stick then cook in oven until done.
Brie and cranberry filo parcels. get about 4 sheets of filo pastry, cut into 4" squares, add a small bit of brie and a little cranberry sauce, wrap them up like a wonton, oven bake.
Chicken wings in BBQ sauce. Get some chicken wings and put in a baking dish, make up a barbeque sauce using 2 parts tomato ketchup, 1 part soy sauce, 1 part golden syrup or honey, 1 part brown sugar. Spread over wings
Mini yorkshires and gravy dip. You'll need to get a tray with small "holes" in or you could use standard size ones. Make yorkshires as per sunday roast, leave to cool, serve with a gravy dip.
There's a few to think about...all of which i've tried and proved most successful at parties.

Needless to say you don’t need to use that particular apple sauce, any will do.
The individual toad in the holes on that site are lovely too, but you really have to eat them straight out of the oven so might not be suitable if you’re being the hostess with the mostess.
