Answers: Cream Cheese & Crab Wontons

Ingredients:
1 Package of Wonton Wrappers
1 Egg (Beaten)
1 Package of Cream Cheese (Softened to Room Temperature)
1 Can of Crab Meat Drained (Lump-Style) or *1 Pound of Crab Legs
2 Tablespoon of Flour or 1 Piece of Toast
Oil for Frying
Sauce for Dipping

Preparation:
In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, the flour (or toast), and the crab meat until well blended. Place one tablespoon of the crab and the cream cheese mixture in the middle of the wonton wrapper. Brush the egg around the edges of the wonton. Bring top corner over and press down the edges to seal. This will make a triangle shape. Bring both corners of the wonton to the top and pinch together to make final seal.

Heat oil in deep frying pan. Oil is ready for frying when you place a wonton in it, and the outside wrapper starts to bubble. Fry wontons until golden brown, approximately 2 ? minutes.

Jumbo Black Olives, drained and patted dry

stuff with cubes of jalepeno cheese, the hotter, the better

dip in egg white then japenese bread crumbs then do it again

lay on a pan covered with wax paper making sure they aren't touching and do not cover

freeze solid then dump into a ziploc bag (they keep up to 6 months like this in the freezer.)

Pineapple Smokies-paradisefoundonline.com
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 tbsp. flour
2 tsp. ground mustard
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup vinegar
1 1/2 tsp soy sauce
2 lbs. mini smoked sausage links
In a large sauce pan, combine sugar, flour and mustard. Gradually stir in pineapple juice, vinegar, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stir occasionally. Boil for 2 minutes,stir constantly. Add sausages; stir to coat. Cook for 5 minutes or until heated through. Serve warm. Yield 8 doz.
Note: I like to put sausages in a crockpot after boiling in saucepan and cooking them. This will make them more tender & will stay warm til they are served.

can you find 'pimientos del padron' where you live? These are small green peppers (they're not hot), typical of an area of Spain - in London you can find in a few shops. Deep fry them using a wok and serve them with salt crystals. Yum!!!
or otherwise.... a nice salad with pear and blue cheese could be an easy one. Or tiny kebabs made with cherry tomatoes and mozzarella bocconcini (small mozzarella bites) or - why not? - prawns.
Another easy one is ... bruschetta - toasted bread (thinly sliced) with either mushroom pate' or with tomato, salt and olive oil...
