Appetizers & Soups with Pecans
- Top appetizer-size pizzas with shredded mozzarella, fresh oregano and
chopped pecans before baking. Better yet, sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese
and finely chopped pears before baking.
- Fill miniature tart shells with sautéed apples, add a teaspoonful of blue
cheese on top and sprinkle with pecans. Bake in a hot oven until cheese
melts and tarts are crisp.
- Match pecans' rich, earthy flavor with sherry-scented wild rice soup.
- Season your favorite crab cake recipe with a handful of minced pecans,
then fry miniature cakes and float atop curried corn soup.
- Even grandma's potato soup deserves updating with a garnish of minced
toasted pecans and caramelized onion slices.
- A soup that would make Ray Charles sing "Georgia" -- a chilled pecan
soup, topped with a swirl of lime-scented sour cream and toasted, sugared
pecans.
- Before spooning a rich cheddary Welsh rarebit (rabbit) atop toast, add a
handful of toasted pecans.
- Stuff Greek-style grape leaves with a mixture of brown rice that you
season with minced pecans, cumin, cinnamon and currants.
