Three Canapé Cheats
TUNA AND BLACK PEPPER CIABATTAS
Mix tuna flakes, freshly chopped parsley, sliced
olives, extra virgin olive oil and cracked black
pepper together; then refrigerate.
Just before your guests arrive, slice ciabattas
around 1/2 inch thick and place on a
parchment-lined tray in the oven at 350°F
until golden.
BREAD STICKS WITH A TWIST
For each bread stick, lay a slice
of prosciutto flat.
Place three arugula leaves on top and sprinkle
with finely sliced sun-dried tomatoes.
Starting at the base, tightly wrap the
prosciutto around the bread stick before
serving with champagne.
MINI ROAST BEEF PASTRIES
Chop 1 tablespoon chives and 1 teaspoon
horseradish; mix into 2 cups sour cream. (You
can save time by spooning into ready-made
pastry shells.)
Top with sliced roast beef.
Garnish with a sprig of watercress.
