STUFFED SNOW PEAS



Stuffed Snow Peas image

These hors d'oeuvres are so elegant for bridal or baby showers. I always make them ahead. You can season the cream cheese with anything you like. I sometimes make them with plain cream cheese. They are time consuming- but worth it because the presentation is beautiful. Did I mention they taste great too? From the wonderful book 'Showers' by Beverly Clark.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Snow Peas: Before you start stuffing, make sure to wash and trim your snow peas. Remove the tough ends and any strings to ensure a clean and tender bite.
  • Choose Your Filling Wisely: The filling is the star of these snacks, so select ingredients that complement each other and pack a flavorful punch. Consider using a mix of crunchy veggies, savory proteins, and tangy sauces.
  • Keep It Bite-Sized: Remember, these are snacks, not meals. Aim for one or two bites per stuffed snow pea to maintain a fun and easy-to-eat finger food experience.
  • Don't Overstuff: While you want a satisfying filling, avoid overstuffing the snow peas. Too much filling can make them difficult to close and may result in a burst of flavors when you bite into them.
  • Seal Them Tight: To prevent the filling from falling out, make sure to seal the stuffed snow peas tightly. You can use toothpicks or edible glue to secure the ends.
  • Experiment with Dipping Sauces: Dipping sauces can elevate the flavors of your stuffed snow peas. Offer a variety of options, such as sweet and sour sauce, ranch dressing, or spicy mayo, to cater to different preferences.

In conclusion, stuffed snow pea snacks are a delightful and versatile appetizer or party food that combines the freshness of snow peas with a variety of flavorful fillings.
