segway catering

this segway store has been open a while, but tonight they are having a grand opening. i guess you get to have a grand opening party whenever you feel like it! cool!

they got a bunch of bites from us- i did stuffed mushrooms, some crostinis, empanadas and bites of the chocolate cake from the other day..

stuffed mushrooms: roasted them in a lower oven, about 350 with a bunch of garlic oil, salt and pepper. made a filling of creamy cheese, bacon, candied walnuts and pears sauteed in bacon fat. yup. they are pretty great.

crostinis. white bean spread: beans mashed with garlic oil, lemon juice, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and paprika. basil pesto: pine nuts, oil, balsamic and lemon juice. i did the figgy one for them too: blue cheese melted on the toast, topped with carmelized onion and fig.

empanadas: i think the dough recipe is still on here somewhere... filled them with roasted red peppers, chorizo and goat cheese. made a cilantro oil for dipping, but these are full of flavor on there own. and the crust is so nice and buttery. when they come outta the oven, i can't help but take a bite and sing "hot pocket" like mr. jim gaffigan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9c9lAfXQHs careful, you might pee your pants.

for dessert: sweet little bites of that super rich chocolate cake with a raspberry for health.

PS- i heart segways
