Russian appetizer recipes

This version of the garlicky roasted eggplant dip does not have tahini in it as with a traditional version. While I really like an "authentic" baba ghanoush, I also enjoy the commercial Sabra brand, which uses mayo and some spices. It is slightly sweet and has a little kick. This is my rendition.

This Baklava recipe is classic Greek baklava. It can be sweet as a dessert, or savory as an appetizer. Phyllo pastry gives a crispy texture, using both golden delicious and Granny Smith apples makes the filling sweet, slightly sour, and very tasty. The Walnut layer adds another nuttiness, crunchiness, and richness. A delicious and light dessert that you can serve on any occasion.

Crockpot meatballs in a tasty home-made BBQ sauce.

This savory tart definitely impressed me. The puff pastry was so buttery and crispy after baking, which went deliciously well with creamy goat cheese, lemon zest and fresh rosemary leaves. All the flavors were just perfectly balanced, YUM!

This is a very fresh taste tomato salsa and also quick and easy, chopped some fresh tomatoes, sweet red bell pepper, tossed with freshly chopped cilantro and parsley leaves, serve with your favorite chips.

Serve these kabobs as an appetizer with the sauce for dipping, or as sandwiches. Slather the sauce on warmed pita and place the chicken in the pockets along with sliced tomatoes and red onion.

These roasted sweet potatoes go perfectly with the smoky and mildly spiced tangy lime sour cream. Definitely inspires you to cook sweet potatoes more often!

Add some fun to a dinner party with this delicious dip that goes well with tortilla chips and salted crackers.

Black Russian Brownies recipe

A great party food favorite. Tastes just like normal sausage rolls - makes you wonder just how much actual meat they have in them :P. Even my 17 year old carnivor of a brother loves these.

Stuffed with two kinds of cheese these make spectacular dinner roll.

we didn't use up the whole filling from Greek croustade, then we used the leftover filling and made some phyllo muffins, they came out so cute, delicate and delicious. Being creative!

Making your own Parmesan cheese baskets is a challenge, and also full of fun, these crispy baskets look beautiful, and when you serve with prepared salad, flavorful and outstanding, will impress everyone!!
