A few recipes to share :-)

Hello! We had a friends Cocktail 40th Birthday Party on Saturday night! I helped with the setting up (and packing up at 1pm!) and I also helped by making 200 finger food peices.
I made 100 Chicken and Dill rounds and 100 Bruschetta Cups. I dont have "exact" recipes but I will put them here for you and then taste as you go.

Chicken and Dill Rounds (this made 100)
1 kg Chicken Breast Fillets - boiled until thoroughly cooked
2 servings homemade Mayo (from COTC page 34)
2 bunches dill
1 bunch chives
Juice of 1-2 lemons
good pinch of salt
5 telegraph cucumbers - each cut into 20 peices

Make Mayo and set aside in a medium bowl.
In a large food processor place the chicken, dill, chives, and salt and process until "shredded"
Mix the chicken mixture in with the mayonaisse and add lemon juice to taste.

Serve on top of cucumber rounds. So fresh and delicious!

CHICKEN AND DILL ROUNDS

Bruschetta Cups (this makes 100)
5-6 loaves of bread
2kg tomatoes
2 bunches of basil
6 french shallots
juice of 1-2 lemons
good pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 190c.
Using a rolling pin, flatten each peice of bread. Using a large scone cutter, cut round out of each peice. Place bread rounds into a muffin tray and bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes. The result will be cute little "bread cups"

In a large bowl place the diced tomato, finely shredded basil, diced shallots, salt and lemon juice to taste. Mix well.

Just before serving, place spoon fulls of tomato mixture into the bread cups.

Tips: I made 2 lots of the Guacamole from CUT OUT THE CRAP (PAGE 22) and dolloped on top also. Another option it to add diced avocado to the tomato mix.
