KENNY'S BRAIN SPREAD

This is a GREAT appetizer for your next Halloween Party! If you don't have a brain mold, you can substitute by lining a med. size round bowl with saran wrap and making your mold. Once the mold is set, you can take the round end of a knife or a pencil eraser and create your crevices and creases to make your brain, as in the picture I have posted. Takes a little more time, but works well. When done designing your brain, peel off the saran wrap, and plate to serve along with your crackers, chips etc.

SHREDDED BRAIN SPREAD

Halloween is my favorite holiday! Here's a quote from the original recipe, but I don't have a name to go with it. "This is a quick and easy spread to make for any occasion. The name comes from a friend of mine who hates crab and made some disparaging comments about the appearance of the dip. It tastes great and has the perfect appearance for Halloween when paired with a creative name. I like topping this spread with 1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds, but you lose the shredded brain effect. For serving on a different occasion, omit the food coloring and add the almonds."

Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 small garlic clove, quartered
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Crackers or toasts (for serving)

Steps:

  • Combine cream cheese, butter, garlic, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until smooth. Add parsley and chives and pulse a few times until well combined. Pack mixture into a small bowl, ramekin, or glass jar. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes. Serve with crackers or toasts.
  • Do Ahead
  • Cheese can be made 5 days ahead. Cover and chill.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Ingredients: Selecting fresh, high-quality ingredients is crucial for a successful spread. Look for plump, colorful bell peppers, firm tomatoes, and aromatic garlic.
  • Properly Prepare Vegetables: Ensure your vegetables are cleaned, trimmed, and cut uniformly. This ensures even cooking and enhances the spread's texture.
  • Control the Heat: Maintaining the right temperature is essential. Cooking over medium heat allows the vegetables to soften without burning.
  • Season Wisely: Use a combination of herbs and spices to create a flavorful spread. Adjust seasonings to your preference, but don't overwhelm the natural flavors of the vegetables.
  • Achieve the Desired Consistency: Whether you prefer a chunky or smooth spread, adjust the blending time accordingly. For a chunky texture, pulse the mixture briefly; for a smooth spread, blend until creamy.

Conclusion:

Creating a delicious and versatile shredded brain spread is a culinary adventure that combines the goodness of fresh vegetables, aromatic herbs, and zesty seasonings.
