Yield Makes about 60 canapés

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup walnuts
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup shelled fresh fava beans* or lima beans (about 3/4 pound in pods)
10 small purple potatoes* or small red potatoes (each about 2 inches in diameter; about 1 1/2 pounds)
6 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, softened
6 ounces cream cheese (about 3/4 cup), softened
*available at specialty produce markets and some specialty foods shops

Steps:

  • Finely chop walnuts. In a small heavy skillet cook walnuts in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until golden and transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
  • Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water. In a kettle of boiling salted water blanch beans 1 minute and immediately transfer with slotted spoon to ice water to stop cooking. Drain beans and gently peel away outer skins.
  • Return kettle of water to a boil and cut potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Cook potatoes 8 minutes, or until just tender, and transfer with slotted spoon to ice water to stop cooking. Drain potatoes in a colander and pat dry with paper towels.
  • In a small bowl stir together Gorgonzola and cream cheese until combined well. (Canapé ingredients may be prepared up to this point 2 days ahead. Keep toasted walnuts in an airtight container at room temperature. Chill beans and potatoes separately in sealable plastic bags and chill Gorgonzola cream covered with plastic wrap.)
  • To assemble canapés:
  • Spread about 1 teaspoon Gorgonzola cream on each potato slice and top each canapé with a bean, pressing down gently. Sprinkle canapés with walnuts. Canapés may be assembled 6 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
