Question:
How do I garnish canapes?
Edible decorations
Generally all canapes have some type of garnish or decoration
on them.
Cut small designs using a paring knife of sharp cutter from
any of the following to use in decorating cold canapes.
Carrot slices, green pepper, pimiento.
You can also slice stuffed olives, tiny pickled onions,
or gherkin pickles and place on top of the canape as desired.
Green Onion Curls
These are a simple but effective garnish that can be used to brighten up anything from anitpasto platters to simple dips and main course entrees.
Using fresh, crisp, green onions, cut the dark green top portion off so that the green onion is 3-4 inches long.
Slice off the root end.
With a small sharp paring knife, cut multiple horizontal slits in each end of the green onion, making sure not to cut through at the center.
The more slits you make the more curls you'll get.
Place the prepared green onions in a bowl of ice water
and place in the refrigerator for at about 20-30 minutes.
Use as desired.
