Being the host of your party, you may want to do your best to impress your guests. Food happens to be the most important element of any event. When it comes to party catering, appetisers hold an important place, as they are the first thing guests try and base their judgements on. Also, many people who drink alcohol are more focused on starters than mains. Potato, cheese, chicken - dishes prepared using these ingredients are done to death. Surprise your guests with the unexpected - mushroom-based appetisers.
Mushroom is meaty in taste and mushy in texture and makes for a delicious pre-dinner snacking food. Mushroom is low in calories and saves the appetite for dinner. Also, it is rich in fibre, which makes the food easily digestible. Packed with vitamin D, calcium and antioxidants, mushroom is a healthy and delicious choice for your appetisers menu.
Here are some recipes of mushroom appetisers you can make for your next party:
