Are you thinking of hosting a holiday party in your beautiful new Huntclub Towns home? We have four perfect holiday finger food recipes that are sure to please adventurous and traditional partygoers alike!
Bacon-Wrapped Potatoes
Who doesn’t love bacon and potatoes? This warm, aromatic treat is sure to be a hit. All you need is bacon, small potatoes and some toothpicks. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees, wrap a half piece of bacon around each potato and secure it with a toothpick. Place your delicious creations on a baking dish and bake them for around 45 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the bacon is crisp.
Sautéed Black Olives with Tomatoes
This tasty dip pairs well with slices of crusty bread. To make this dip, you will need a cup of black olives, three tomatoes, olive oil and the following seasonings: garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. You should start by heating some olive oil and garlic in a pan until the garlic cloves begin to brown. Next you add the olives and thyme, stirring them in for around 3 minutes. Then you add some chopped tomatoes and salt and cover until the juices thicken. The final step is simply seasoning to taste with pepper.
Spicy Pecans
This spicy snack is an adventurous holiday treat. Start by combining salt, cayenne pepper, paprika and sugar into a bowl. Whisk some egg whites into a bowl with the spice mixture. Next, stir in the pecans. Line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper and spread out the coated pecans in a single layer. Bake the pecans for fifteen minutes at 300°F, then reduce the temperature to 250°F, rotate the sheets and cook for another ten minutes. They should be ready after that. Just let them cool before serving!
Shrimp Cocktail
This holiday classic is delicious and decorative. Start by preparing the shrimp by peeling them so the tail remains intact, and then rinsing them. Take a large pot and fill it with water, lemon, bay leaves and salt. Bring that mixture to a boil then reduce the heat and letting it simmer for ten minutes. Return the pot to a boil and then add the shrimp, cooking them for around two minutes, enough time for them to turn bright pink. Transfer the shrimp to a wire rack, set over a rimmed baking sheet and cover it with ice to let the shrimp cool. When you are ready to serve the shrimp, arrange them along the rim of a bowl filled with ice, accompanied by slices of lemon and cocktail sauce. Your beautiful arrangement won’t last long at all.
Not only will your guests love the food, but they’ll also be enthralled by the beautiful atmosphere of your Huntclub Towns home!
