Cocktails: Make them the night before, in a beverage jar. Cowie suggests one made with vodka, fresh ginger, fresh lemon grass, jalapeno, pineapple. It's placed in the beverage jar for 8-24 hours. Once infused, you add the mixture over ice in a shaker, shake, and pour into a martini glass.
Recipe:
2 gallons of vodka
3 jalepenos sliced
4-5 inch piece of fresh ginger, thinly sliced
2 sticks of lemon grass sliced
1 whole pineapple, 1/4 slices
Put all ingredients into a beverage server and allow to infuse 8-24 hours
Fill cocktail shaker with ice and add beverage, shake and pour into a martini glass.
Garnish with slice of lemon grass and a wheel of jalepeno.
Appetizers: They can include:
Samoosas: a delicious triangular pastry shell filled with either meat or veggies; take them straight from freezer and fry in a bit of vegetable oil. You can keep these in the freezer; there's no defrosting involved before you prepare them.
Spiced Nuts: If you're serving a potent drink or two, it's always a welcome touch -- not to mention prudent and polite -- to provide cocktail munchies. Instead of the standard chips, dips, and salsas, why not try something a little more intriguing, such as tasty toasted nuts?
And, for an added color accent, you might garnish them with some beautiful little dried red chili peppers:
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1⁄ 2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound macadamia nuts
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1⁄ 4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
10 to 12 whole dried small red chili peppers, for garnish (optional)
1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the coriander, cumin, and cayenne. Set aside.
2. Place the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat, add the peanuts, and toast them, stirring continually, until they are lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Dust the peanuts with the spices and toast for another 2 to 3 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper and then spread out to cool on a bed of paper towel. Once cool, place in a bowl and serve with the whole chili peppers as garnish.
Then add a cheese board and crusty bread and Marconia almonds. Cheese essentials include a chevre, a creamy, a hard, and a pungent cheese. Lay out with crackers and marconia almonds, which are very flavorful. my contact id :- sam4ur.sameer@gmail.com
