395807 Thu Apr 26 15:21:26 -0700 2007 17 31 Home Cooking 0 2518703 Going to a party this weekend and the host has requested we bring an appetizer that's "wrapped". I'm thinking a bunch of people will go the "wrap anything you can find in bacon" route, and I'm not particularly fond of the melon/prosciutto combo so I'm looking for other ideas. Any thoughts? Thu Apr 26 15:21:26 -0700 2007 29310 notavegan 1 2518716 What about brie en croute (brie wrapped in pastry)?

If you decide to go the bacon route, there's nothing better than dates stuffed with parmesan cheese, wrapped in bacon, then baked until the bacon is crispy. You could make Crab "Nachos" which features crab/guacamole in wonton cups (it's not a totally enclosed "wrap" but pretty close): http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/103545 You could do spring rolls: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/11646 Or, even some variation on a sushi roll. Here's a recipe for a California Roll: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/101544 Thu Apr 26 15:29:13 -0700 2007 2518703 11028 DanaB 2 2519893 I'll see your dates stuffed w/ parmesan cheese, wrapped in bacon, then baked until crispy. And raise you hollowed out jalapeno peppers stuffed with sausage and/or cheese, wrapped in bacon and grilled until crispy.

Essentially, buy rare roast beef in thin slices. Chop just a bit of onion or shallot (optional) very thinly in slices and mix with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Toss fresh watercress in this "dressing". Place a bundle of the watercress "salad" in the middle of a roast beef slice and roll up. Delicious! Another one would be pieces of salami spread with a bit of fresh pesto, wrapped around a piece of mozzerella (fresh would be best) have fun!!

I'd just add two : Moroccan B'stilla Cigars Thai summer rolls (it's a soft wrapper, not fried) (Or you could make whatever you want, stick it in a box, and tie it up with a ribbon. Wrapped.)

Although one event I go to has delicious prosciutto wrapped bits of chicken breast. The event is normally pretty boring - but the nibbles...

Use mixed greens as the base instead of rice, julliene of cucumber, avocado, peppers, green onion & make a sauce with grated carrots, sesame oil, a touch of tahini, soy, garlic & whatever else your litlle heart desires. You could add fish, shrimp or even tofu if you like. Light, refreshing & easy. Fri Apr 27 15:23:19 -0700 2007 2518703 23132 dbug31 1 2522336 How about wrapping tater tots in bacon and frying them up? Fri Apr 27 18:08:06 -0700 2007 2518703 10642 bryan 1 2522381 Depending on how you define "wrapped" - gougeres (made savory with a bit of sharp-ish cheese blended into the dough before baking) as the "wrap" for crab/chicken/egg salad. Garnish with a ribbon of spring onion or leek (green part blanched and shocked). Fri Apr 27 18:27:04 -0700 2007 2518703 55002 SanseiDesigns
