Happy Holiday Everyone! Do you ever get asked to a holiday dinner and have to bring something to share but have no idea what to make? Well, we’re here to provide you with three appetizer recipe ideas that you can create at home that are quick, easy, and delicious.

These appetizers are perfect for the holiday season, and your host will be impressed and think you spent a lot of time in the kitchen. So, without further ado, let us begin with our first recipe. Recipe #1 CRUNCHY QUINOA PATTIES with CHIPOTLE SAUCE The first recipe is these crunchy quinoa patties with chipotle sauce.

These patties are the perfect starter if you are looking for something crunchy and a bit more healthy. They are garlicky, peppery, and onionly. Dip these patties in a chipotle sauce to take the flavor to the next level of tanginess and spicyness. This is also an excellent vegetarian starter.

Begin by beating one egg. If the mixture is still too dry, we may need two eggs, but we’ll see how it goes later. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder

1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard to give it a sharper taste. Give it a good stir Let’s cook 1 cup of quinoa We like to use the a rice cooker

Simply combine 1 cup of pre-washed quinoa with 1 cup of water. Depending on your rice cooker, you may need to add 2 cups of liquid. Add 1 teaspoon of butter to make it more flavorful. That’s it; now let the rice cooker do its job. It looks great and is cooked perfectly every time.

Finely dice and add 1/2 cup of red bell pepper Finely chopped 2 to 3 stalks of green onion Mix well. The quinoa appears to be a touch dry. One additional beaten egg will be added. This looks perfectly moist.

Lay a piece of wax paper on top of the tray and place two tablespoons of the quinoa mixture. Form a circle, and use a flat object to flatten the quinoa as much as possible. Freeze the quinoa in a refrigerator for 20 minutes to harden.

Immediately, fry the patties in a skillet with 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Fry on each side for 5 to 8 minutes. Be careful when flipping over the patties. Gently remove the patties and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

To make the chipotle mayo sauce, it’s really easy. Combine 1/2 cup of mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons of chipotle in adobo sauce. 1/2 teaspoon Dried Cumin 1 clove of minced garlic And finally about 1 tablespoon of lemon juice Give it a good stir, and you are done.

Recipe # 2 A FESTIVE POTATO SALAD with JAZZED-UP DRESSING The second recipe is these festive potato salad with tangy, sweet and refreshing dressing. The salad includes diced apples and pomegranate, which give it a subtle crunch. It’s the perfect appetizer to cleanse your palate and get you ready for the main course.

Begin by peeling and dicing three medium-sized Yukon gold potatoes. Add cold water and 1/4 cup of Kosher salt Boil until they are forked tender. Then, drain and set aside to cool down In the meantime, let’s make the salad dressing by combining 3/4 cup of mayonnaise. 1 tablespoon of yellow French mustard

2 teaspoon of white wine vinegar About 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper A dash of salt 2 teaspoons of honey Mix thoroughly Add the cooked potato Peel and finely dice 3/4 cup of carrot. We prefer to dice them finely to make them easier to eat. Dice about 1/2 cup of dill pickle.

The pickle adds a nice crunch and tartness to the taste. Dice an apple, which also provides a nice crunch and sweetness to the taste. Give it a good mix and that is pretty much it. You made yourself a delicious and refreshing potato salad.

You can also be fancy and serve them as a cocktail. By adding Boston lettuce and pomegranate, the appetizer takes on a more festive flavor. Recipe # 3 GARLIC SHRIMP CANAPÉS with GUACAMOLE SPREAD Our third recipe is these succulent garlic shrimp with avocado spread.

If you love garlic, then you will love these garlicky and lemony shrimp one-bitters. Served on a rice cracker and topped with a generous spread of our homemade refreshing guacamole and savory shrimp, they strike a perfect balance of strong flavor and mild taste.

To make these delicious bites, start by marinating the 400 grams of shrimp with 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika. 1 teaspoon of dried oregano Next, season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of ground pepper Mix well and place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to marinate.

Let’s make a quick, delicious, and creamy guacamole. Start by adding 3 stalks of chopped green onion to a food processor. 1 cup of roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves Add two avocados. To make it easier to combine, roughly slice them before putting them to the food processor.

Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper Add 2 tablespoons lime juice. You are free to add more or less. Blend until smooth and creamy. It just takes 10 minutes to make, and you’ll have fresh and tasty guacamole.

Sauté the shrimps in a pan with a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat for a minute. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic 2 tablespoons of unslated butter Stir for 2 minutes to fully melt the butter. Squeeze roughly 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley

Take the pan off the heat. We’re all set to assemble the appetizer. For the base, we like to use these crispy rice crackers. Spread the guacamole generously on top of the cracker. Finally, add garlic shrimp on top. That’s all there is to it. It’s quite easy to make and looks so elegant.

And there you have it: three stunning and simple holiday appetizers. We hope that you enjoy this video edition of the holiday special and that it may inspire you to make some appetizer dishes for your loved ones or yourself.
