Parties are always a great way to enjoy at any time; whether for a celebration or just for fun. Recently a lot more people have started to venture into becoming vegetarians. Hence, vegetarian appetizers for parties have become a large part of the preparation as well.
These preparations take up less of your time than any other preparations. Throw together some tahini, olive oil and some salt; add some crushed chickpeas from a tin and you have yourself an enjoyable dip called hummus. To give it that real hummus taste you must add crushed garlic. This is a dip for everyone at your party and not just for your vegetarians. The easiest with this dip is that there is already bread and crisps for everyone.
For the vegetarian crisps, why not try some Kale or spinach chips. You simply fry your Kale in oil until they are crisp. Make sure your Kale has nice fleshy leaves. Be careful with the salt as these greens normally have their own salts. Again, you could leave the stems in and your guests could munch away while holding onto it. You could also make some lovely guacamole into which to dip your crisps.
If you have never tried this before, try some flowers. I am sure your vegetarian guests would truly appreciate your effort. All you have to do is take some nasturtiums and make some fritters with them. Remember to have a little stalk for the guests to hold onto or you could pit them on a toothpick. Make some lavender flower fritters as well. They have lovely strong stalks and tastes great. They will also relax your guests. Elder flowers also make for tasty fritters
Nice, big jalapenos make for a wonderful easy appetizer. They can be baked or fried as is and placed in between as garnish and for the eating. Remember to slice them in half as you do want to get rid of the pips inside. You could also fill them with some stuffing of your choice. Do not use cheese or cream to bind the filling, as not all vegetarians eat dairy products (even though they are not vegan).
A batch of samoosas (or samosas) is always a hit. These are Indian pastry triangles with a filling. Not everyone can make them so they are available at your local supermarket in the frozen section. You have to deep fry them, but if you drain them n some paper towel most of the oil will soak away.
A very tasty filling is either potato or sweet potato. It is more stable than other vegetables that might fall out. However, you might want to use any vegetable for this purpose. The easiest is to buy frozen ones at the supermarket and all you have to do is fry them yourself until golden brown).
Bruschetta is a repetitive appetizer, because it is always a huge success. You will always find it at parties, simply because it is so easy to make. These are slices from a French loaf which has been toasted in a preheated oven to a crispy texture or until golden brown. A topping of your choice is set on top. Combinations such as Spinach (shredded), fresh basil, garlic and tomato are always tasty.
