My thoughts and prayers are with the families of Newtown, Connecticut.....May God bless and comfort them in this difficult time....
Inspired by Patricia that invited us ideas to prepare finger foods for Christmas, I decided to prepare for our first pre-Christmas dinner a variety of small canapes. In this case, I used a mini blini as a base because it is light, easy to make, and it doesn't get wet with the toppings.
Canapes for Christmas (Blinis, Cucumber, and Apple Base)
Mini blinis
2 eggs
salt
a pinch of baking powder
1 cup of milk
1 1/4 cup of flour (more or less depending on the desired thickness of the batter)
Olive oil
In a blender, put the eggs, salt, baking powder and milk. Beat it until well mix. Add the flour by 1/4 cup each time. I used almost 1 1/4 cup. You can use more or less. The batter has to have a consistency of a thick pancake.
Brush with olive oil a pan, and heat it. Place the amount of batter desired depending on the size of the blini you wish. My size was 1 1/2 tablespoon of batter per blini. I ended up with 42 blinis.
Base:
50 grams of Goat Cheese
150 grams of Greek Yogurt
Salt
Mix the goat cheese with the Greek yogurt, and add salt. It has to be thick. Spread a teaspoon on top of each blini and cucumber slice.

Tomato, Avocado and Shrimps Ceviche

Sautee the shrimps with olive oil, salt and garlic.
Peel the tomatoes, and cut it in cubes. Peel the avocadoes, and cut it in cubes. Mix them, and add olive oil, chives, garlic, salt and lemon. Incorporate the shrimps. Leave it in the fridge for 1 hour to marinate the flavors. ENJOY!

Aunque ya te he contestado en el blog vuelvo a hacerlo aqui por si no lo ves, la almendra que he puesto a las marquesitas es cruda sin pelar, por eso salen más oscurillas pero estan muy buenas.
