This is my ENTERTAINMENT FINGER FOODS WEEK for you. Since the holidays are around the corner, I will post simple ideas that you can adopt to feed family and friends coming over, smile. There was a time in Puerto Rico, when all social gatherings were held at everyone’s “Marquesina” or shall we call it now, attractive terraces. Friends would bring all kinds of goodies, (no wine though) and one popular party plate that no one missed to bring was the Pimento or “Mezcla” Tea Sandwiches. Nothing fancy, just simple ingredients spread on white sandwich bread cut in small triangle bites. Well, this is my own recipe. Enjoy. Approximate Prep and Cooking Time: 10 minutes plus time to make the sandwiches Approximate Cost: $7.48 or .75 per serving Difficulty Level: X Easy ____ Intermediate ____ Advanced Servings: 10 (2 per person - but you will want to eat like 5, smile) Ingredients 1- 7 oz. can of SPAM ($1.99) ½ cup mayo ($1.15) 2 oz. softened cream cheese (.70) ¼ cup fine chopped onion (.15) ¼ tsp. Paprika (.10) ¼ cup roasted red peppers and 2 tbsp. of its water (.40) ¼ cup Cheez Whiz (.75) 1/2 bag white sandwich bread ($1.99) Garnish with parsley and sweet and hot peppers (.25) Directions Add to a food processor the Spam, mayo, chopped onion, roasted peppers Cheez Whiz paprika and process until smooth. To prepare the sandwiches, cut all the bread edges. Spread the Spam mix generously over one slice and cover with another slice. Carefully, cut across to make 4 baby tea sandwiches. Arrange in a nice serving platter and cover with a clean kitchen towel moistened with cold milk to keep these babies soft and moist until you leave for the party. Then, take them to a party or serve them at yours. Enjoy!
