Canape Recipe Ingredients:

Cases

  • cooking spray
  • 4 sheets filo pastry (Antoniou®)

Mushy Peas

  • 1½ cups frozen peas
  • 1 tablespoon salt-reduced taco seasoning

Salsa

  • 3 tablespoons red onion finely diced
  • ½ cup tomato finely diced
  • ¼ cup Lebanese cucumber finely diced
  • ¼ cup green capsicum finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon crushed garlic (in jar)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh coriander finely chopped
  • pepper to taste
  • ½ large (60g) avocado fresh

Method

  1. Preheat oven 180ºC fan forced.
  2. Cases: Coat a 24-cup mini muffin tray with cooking spray.
  3. Lay out one sheet of filo pastry and cut in half width ways, then cut each half into 3 strips, giving you 6 strips of filo.
  4. Cut each strip into quarters, giving you 4 squares, then coat with cooking spray.
  5. Place 4 squares on top of each other and press into a small muffin hole. Repeat until you have 6 cases made.
  6. Repeat process using remaining 3 sheets of filo pastry. This will give you a total of 24 cases.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until pastry has lightly browned. Leave to cool in tray.
  8. Mushy peas: Place peas into a microwave dish with a little water and microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes. Drain well.
  9. Place into a medium size mixing bowl, then mash peas to a reasonably smooth texture using a stick blender.
  10. Add taco seasoning and mix well. Refrigerate until required.
  11. Salsa: Place all salsa ingredients except avocado (which will be used at the end) into a medium size mixing bowl and combine well. Refrigerate until required.
  12. To assemble: Place a teaspoon of mushy peas into each case then top with a teaspoon of salsa.
  13. Place a small slice of avocado on top then serve.

NOTE: Cases will keep fresh and crispy in a well-sealed container for a week, so can be made ahead of time for convenience.

Variation: Top each case with a small slice of Tassal 60% reduced-salt smoked salmon (around 3g per serve; around 75g required). Curl salmon next to avocado.

Suitable to be frozen.

Dietitian’s Tip about this canape recipe: A fresh appetiser with loads of salad vegetables. The avocado adds high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which research has established helps with blood vessel health.
