Roasted Red Potatoes with Stilton Cream and Candied Walnuts – Day 6 of the 12 Days of Canapés – 2011


Day 6! We are officially at the half way mark! Three days until Christmas! Nine days until New Year’s Eve! Six more recipes to go! I am not sure whether those exclamation marks signify enthusiasm or fear. I do know I am amazed at how quickly this month is moving.

This is the first vegetarian canapé of this year’s “12 Days” and while it is a bit old school it was a real hit at the Food Bank Fundraiser. These are elegant and a great mix of textures and flavours. The earthiness of the roasted potatoes is the perfect vessel for the salty, creamy punch of the Stilton cream and the sweet crunch of the candied walnuts.

The very best part? These can be made up to two days ahead. Just roast the potatoes, fill them with the Stilton Cream, cover and refrigerate. Before baking let them come up to room temperature, pop them in the oven and when they emerge simply garnish with the candied walnut and a sprig of parsley.
