      Recipes: Goat Cheese Pepperazzi Peppers - Red Potatoes with Sour Cream and Caviar

      If you came late to the party, no whining that you missed the caviar and bubbles.  Not to rub it in, but it was the  perfect pairing.

      This first recipe is from a recipe booklet DeLallo sent me to give to customers - Inspired Italian Recipes.  Customerd loved the recipe booklet and the recipe.

      Goat Cheese Pepperazzi Peppers
      13 DeLallo Pepperazzi Peppers
      10.5 oz. goat cheese, softened
      3 Tbl. sour cream
      4 sprigs fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish

      Drain the Pepperazzi and pat dry.  Set aside.

      In a bowl. combine goat cheese, sour cream and thyme.  Mix well.  

      To easily stuff peppers, spoon herbed goat cheese into a piping bag (or plastic freezer bag - push to one corner and snip the corner).  Pipe cheese into the Pepperazzi.  Place on serving plate and garnish with additional thyme leaves.

      Pepperazzi  Peppers are on TFM's DeLallo Salad Bar.   This is an easy, tasty recipe.  Quite a hit with customers on Saturday.

      *****

      Red Potatoes with Sour Cream and Caviar
      1 small bag of small red potatoes
      2 Tbl. olive oil
      8 oz. sour cream
      zest from ½ a lemon
      1 clam shell chives, chopped
      1 jar Romanoff Black Whitefish Caviar and/or Romanoff Vodka Lumpfish Caviar

      Preheat oven to 400o.  

      Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Set aside.

      Cut potatoes in half and place in a medium bowl.  Add olive oil and toss to coat.  Transfer potatoes, flat side down, to prepared baking sheet. Bake in oven for 12 to 15 minutes until cooked and slightly golden.  Remove from oven and let cool.

      While potatoes are cooling, prepare sour cream.  Add lemon zest to sour cream and mix well.  Spoon in to a piping bag (or plastic freezer bag - push to one corner and snip the corner). 

      Transfer potatoes to serving plate, flat side up.  Garnish with chopped chives.  Pipe sour cream on each potato.  Garnish with you choice of caviar.  Serve.

      Customers loved this appetizer bite.  Aside from using the small red  potatoes you can also use fingerling potates.  These would be attractive with the sour cream and caviar on one end; almost like a little potato spoon.

      I used the entire bag of  potatoes for sampling (approximately 110 samples).  Since  you  most probably won't need that many, I suggest picking out the largest  potates first.  Make more that you need so you can nosh.

        Yes, I do have my wine tasting today.  However, I have no idea what food and wine I'll be sampling.  I'll get to the store early and see what inspires me on this dreary, rainy day.  I'll try not to disappoint you.
