Then damp the edges of the top piece. put a spoonful of the mushroom sauce mixture on one side of the pastry leaving a gap around the edge. Fold te other side over to make a triangle shape and press along the edges. Once you have used all of the mixture, place them on a greased baking tray andbake for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
Cocktail sausages.
I like to go totally retro and do mini shrimp cocktails on spoons, cocktail sausages, mini trifles, chicken vol au vents - mini pizzas, sausage rolls - takes everyone back to the 70's and 80's and their childhoods!!
mini spring rolls, tempura with chilli and soy dip, garlic prawns,you could make mini burgers with lamb or beef

warm some honey and pour over the hot sausages.
sprinkle with some sesame seed

Take medium shrimp, wrap in half pieces of bacon... secure with a toothpick. Brush each shrimp with a ginger-sesame dressing and bake until done. You can also use BBQ sauce (I prefer it this way). Really, really good.
You can prepare these ahead of time and just pop them in the oven close to serving time. Aboout 350 for about 20 minutes.
Enjoy!

go to costco, buy three boxes of frozen canapes stick them in the oven. perfect.
I normally cook everything for parties, but i realised that canapes were a pain in the backside, and no-one really appreciated the difference between homemade and heated up, as they were all to busy chatting and drinking.
Like the woman said "life is too short to stuff a mushroom".
someone once told me that my mushroom strudels were better than sex! (poor bugger..)
Mix some full fat cream cheese with stilton in the magimix. Stuff in small button mushrooms. Use two layers of filo pastry (sandwiched with butter). Cut into squares and then place stuffed mushrooms face down on them. Fold square of pastry up round them using the pastry brush and melted butter. Turn over so that you have a smooth parcel of mushroom face up. Bake at 220c until brown - about 10 minutes. Leave for a few minutes before serving as they are incredibly hot! DELICIOUS!
