Stuffed Snow Peas image

These hors d'oeuvres are so elegant for bridal or baby showers. I always make them ahead. You can season the cream cheese with anything you like. I sometimes make them with plain cream cheese. They are time consuming- but worth it because the presentation is beautiful. Did I mention they taste great too? From the wonderful book 'Showers' by Beverly Clark.

Time 1h16m

Yield 48 snow peas

Number Of Ingredients 6

48 snow peas
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
black pepper, optional

Steps:

  • In salted, boiling water, blanch (boil rapidly in lots of water) snow peas for 30 seconds.
  • Cool in cold water, drain, and set aside.
  • Blend the rest of the ingredients until smooth.
  • With a sharp pairing knife, split the snow peas along the curved side.
  • Fill each snow pea with filling, using a small spatula or pastry bag with tip.
  • I have used a ziplock bag with a hole cut in the corner.
  • Can be made the day before, refrigerate, and serve chilled.
