Preparation
Classic Liver Canapés
- Remove the Grimm’s Liver sausage from the packaging and if desired, place into an icing bag with a star tip attached.
- Set out your crackers on your tray. Pipe or spread a small amount of the liver pate onto each cracker, trying to leave it so that you have a small hole on the top to place the cherry jam in.
- Taking a small teaspoon, place a small bit of cherry jam into the hole that you made on top. Garnish with a piece of the cooked bacon and a straw of chive.
Roast Beef Canapés
- Slice your fresh baguette into 1/3 inch thick pieces.
- Slather a couple of teaspoons of the herb and garlic cream cheese on top of the baguette slices.
- Place a small piece of roast beef on top of the cream cheese, letting the cream cheese “hold” it to the baguette slice.
- Garnish with chopped chives.
Vegetarian Canapés
- Slice your fresh baguette into 1/3 inch thick pieces.
- Slather a couple of teaspoons of the herb and garlic cream cheese on top of the baguette slices.
- Top the cream cheese with thin slices of radish or thin slices of cucumber.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of crunchy sea salt and a small slice or two of chives
Low Carb Canapés
- Pipe or spread the liver sausage on top of the cucumber slices and top with diced chives and bacon instead of the cherry jam.
- Pipe or spread the herb and garlic cream cheese on top of the cucumber slices and top with the roast beef salt and chives as needed.
- For fully vegetarian low-carb canapés, pipe or spread cream cheese on top, followed by slices of radishes, then a sprinkle of sea salt if desired.
