ENDIVE BOATS



ENDIVE BOATS image

Categories     Cheese     Appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 heads Belgian endive leaves
2 cups cream cheese
4 green onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 cup chopped pimiento-stuffed olives
1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 tablespoon pepper sauce (Tabasco)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese. Stir in the onions, chives, olives and pepper sauce. Mix well. Spoon the mixture onto the endive leaves and chill for an hour before serving. Sprinkle with a little fresh lemon juice over the appetizers before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right endives. Look for endives that are firm and have tightly packed leaves. Avoid any endives that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the endives properly. Cut off the root end of the endive and remove any wilted or damaged leaves. Then, carefully separate the leaves from the core.
  • Be careful not to overcook the endives. Endives should be cooked until they are tender but still slightly crunchy. Overcooked endives will become limp and mushy.
  • Use a variety of fillings. Endive boats can be filled with a variety of ingredients, such as cooked meats, seafood, vegetables, cheeses, and sauces. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
  • Serve endive boats immediately. Endive boats are best served immediately after they are made. This will prevent the endives from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Endive boats are a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or even a quick and easy weeknight meal. With so many different ways to prepare them, endive boats are sure to become a favorite in your home.
