Recipes

H O R S  – D’ O E U V R E S

Spicy Grilled Shrimp

This is best served in tiny shot glasses. Roasting the shrimp with the garlic gives them a punch that’s great with the spicy cocktail sauce.

INGREDIENTS

Garlic Roasted Shrimp

  • 1 1/2 lb. jumbo shrimp (16 to 20 per lb.), shells peeled, tails left on
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped (about 1 TBL)
  • 2 TBL extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. cracked black pepper

Cocktail Sauce with Red Onion & Jalapeno

  • 1/2 cup tomato ketchup
  • 1/2 cup chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup grated red onion
  • 1/2 tsp. finely chopped fresh jalapeno
  • 3 TBL prepared horseradish
  • 1 TBL fresh lemon juice; more to taste
  • 1/8 tsp. kosher salt

DIRECTIONS

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Devein the shrimp, if necessary. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with the garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread the shrimp on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for three minutes, turn the shrimp over with tongs, and continue roasting until the shrimp are opaque and firm, another 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a shallow dish, cover loosely and refrigerate. When the shrimp are thoroughly chilled (after about 2 hours), serve them with the cocktail sauce.
  • For the cocktail sauce, put all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Chill, covered, until ready to use. Just before serving, taste and add more lemon juice and salt as needed. Fill shot glass halfway with sauce and top with one piece of shrimp, tail at the top.

Beef Tenderloin with Rolls and Sour Cream Horseradish Sauce

I purchase my beef tenderloin at Costco. I know it’s expensive but its amazing.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 5 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 (3- to 3 1/2-lb.) beef tenderloin, trimmed

Sour Cream Horseradish Sauce

  • 34 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish.
  • 1 whole green onion (green and white parts finely chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
  • 14 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.
  • 14 teaspoon salt.
  • 18 teaspoon fresh ground pepper.

Directions

Step 1

Stir together butter, salt, mustard, pepper, and garlic. Place beef on a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet. Rub butter mixture all over beef, and chill, uncovered, at least 8 hours.

Step 2

Let beef stand about 20 minutes at room temperature. Preheat oven to 425°F. Bake in preheated oven until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 135°F (medium-rare), 25 to 30 minutes. Cover loosely with aluminum foil; let rest about 15 minutes before slicing.

Step 3

Combine all remaining ingredients to make the Horseradish sauce. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Smoked Turkey with Cranberry Orange muffins

I make these every year for our holiday party. I usually slice them and fill with smoked turkey. Some years I have even tied bows around the sandwiches … very festive but time consuming!

INGREDIENTS

  • One large turkey (15 – 20lbs.)
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 4 TBL (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Grated zest of one orange
  • 3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 1/2 cups chopped fresh cranberries (I put them in my food processor)

DIRECTIONS

  • Smoke or bake the turkey according to instructions. Slice and let cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350. Spray muffin tins with cooking spray. Sift the dry ingredients together into a large bowl. Using a pastry blender or food processor, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly. Add the egg, orange zest and orange juice, and stir by hand until evenly moistened. Fold in the cranberries.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins and bake until done, about 20 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.

NOTE:

Martha Stewart gets the credit for this recipe. I simplified it a bit but it is basically her creation!

BLT Tomatoes

My girlfriend Polly gave me this recipe about 20 years ago. It was a staple on the holiday party menu and then I took it off for a few years but it is back on to stay. Too many people complained and wanted to know what happened to the BLT’s!

INGREDIENTS

  • 40 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 pound bacon, cooked till crisp and chopped
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 head lettuce, chopped fine

DIRECTIONS

  • Clean the cherry tomatoes but save the tops. Mix the chopped bacon, mayo and lettuce. Fill the cherry tomatoes and place the tops on. Chill until ready to serve.

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

    Blend peanut butter, garlic, ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, crushed red pepper and 1/3 cup water in a blender until smooth. Heat till warm.

    Step 2

    Preheat grill to high. Thread chicken onto 16 skewers and place in 1 layer on a baking sheet. Brush both sides of chicken with oil; season with salt and pepper. Working in batches if necessary, grill chicken until cooked through, turning once, about 4 minutes total. Serve immediately, or at room temperature, with peanut sauce on the side.

Crab Cakes with Lemon Dill Sauce

  • Serves: 24
  • INGREDIENTS
    • 3 TBL butter
    • 1 scallion, chopped fine
    • 1 glove garlic, minced
    • 2 TBL red bell pepper, chopped fine
    • Ground red pepper (cayenne) to taste
    • 3 TBL heavy cream
    • 1 TBL dijon mustard
    • 1 egg, beaten
    • 1 tsp minced fresh basil
    • 1 tsp minced fresh parsley
    • 1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
    • 1 pound fresh lump crabmeat
    • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
    • 2 TBL vegetable oil

    Lemon Dill Sauce

    • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
    • 1/2 cup buttermilk
    • 2 TBL fresh dill chopped
    • 1 TBL minced fresh parsley
    • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
    • 1 TBL grated lemon peel
    • 1 clove garlic, minced

    DIRECTIONS

    • My recipe makes 450 crabcakes so I pared it down a bit …
    • Lightly chop the crabmeat in the food processor and set aside. Melt one TBL of the butter in a large skillet and saute the scallion, garlic and red bell pepper until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the ground red pepper, cream and mustard. Cool slightly. Add the egg, basil, parsley, 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs and the crabmeat. Mix lightly. Mold into 25 one-inch patties.
    • Combine the remaining 1/2 cup of bread crumbs and the parmesan cheese in a shallow dish. Roll the patties in the crumb and cheese mixture. Chill for at least one hour. (The crab cakes can be made one day prior and refrigerated, covered, up to this point.)
    • Combine the oil and the remaining 2 TBL of butter over moderate heat in a large skillet. Saute the crab cakes 3 minutes on each side. Serve with the Lemon Dill Sauce.
    • Lemon Dill Sauce: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Chill until the mixture thickens.

    NOTE:

    The lemon dill sauce in this recipe is also really great with smoked salmon. I serve the sauce (with crackers) and salmon all of the time.

    Serves: 10 – 12

Brie Cups with Pomegranates

Serves: 40 appetizer cups. We have been part of a Dinner Club for over 25 years and a caterer served these at one of our dinners. I literally stood in the kitchen for an hour trying to figure out how they were made. I think I figured it out. They have been a hit at our party ever since.INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup honey

DIRECTIONS

  • Place the won ton wrappers in a small muffin tin and cook for 5 – 10 minutes at 300 degrees until just slightly browned.

NOTE:

I actually bake the won ton cups in advance and then freeze them until the day of our party.

  • 24 Kisses chocolates with mint (optional)
  • ounces white baking chocolate with cocoa butter, melted (optional)
  • Striped round peppermint candies, crushed (optional)
  1. In a large bowl beat butter with a mixer on medium to high 30 seconds. Add both sugars, baking soda, and salt. Beat on medium 2 minutes, scraping bowl as needed. Beat in egg until combined. Beat in the cocoa powder and as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour. Cover and chill dough about 1 hour or until easy to handle.

Put a mint patty on top of one dough circle; place the other circle on top. Press the dough around the peppermint patty to seal, making sure there are no holes. Place on prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and mint patties.
  3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or just until set. If desired, immediately top each cookie with a KIsses chocolate. Cool on cookie sheets 2 minutes. Remove; cool on wire racks. If desired, drizzle with melted white chocolate and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies.
  4. This recipe is from Better Homes and Gardens.

TO STORE: Layer cookies between sheets of waxed paper in an airtight container; cover. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Royal IcingClick here for the recipe.

DIRECTIONS

  • Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar; add dry ingredients, and mix until incorporated. With mixer running, add egg, milk, and vanilla; mix until incorporated.
  • Transfer dough to a work surface. Shape into 2 discs, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with nonstick baking mats or parchment paper; set aside.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes, and transfer to prepared baking sheets, leaving an inch in between. Leftover dough can be rolled and cut once more. Bake until lightly golden, about 10 minutes; do not allow to brown. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
  • To make frosting, blend all ingredients in mixer. You may add some lemon juice for citrus taste if desired. Frost cookies with icing.

NOTE:

I usually bake the cookies and then freeze them immediately. A few days later I take them out and frost the frozen cookies. I put them back in the freezer until they are ready to eat.
