Savoury nibbles for a coffee morning
Hi fellow bread heads!
I’m hosting a coffee morning on Tuesday, and, for a change, we’ve decided we’d have savoury nibbles instead of sweet.
I always want to push the boat out on these occasions - and, let’s face it, I want to show off a little.
So far, I’m thinking:
Spicy breadsticks with smoked paprika and sun dried tomatoes
Bialys with mushroom pate, pesto and roasted red peppers
Samosas/parathas with curried lentil and potato filling.
But these are things I’ve made before - I’d love some new ideas.
I’m a vegan, but I can always veganise other recipes. Oh, and I need to make something gluten-free. All I can think of there is canapé-type things using socca.
TIA!

I would love any of those but I am partial to a good samosa.
GF crackers? GF samosa?
From Bertinets Dough book. Essentially little dough balls (basic olive oil + semolina dough), poke your thumb into the middle and put in a walnut, olive, pesto, cheese, etc. (although the last 2 aren't vegan, you get the idea)

Hi folks
Thanks for the suggestions. In the end I made 3 bread doughs - one with paprika, one with paprika and s-d-tomatoes and one flavoured with just bouillon powder - this was for the parathas. The Bialys - which sounds very much like your dough ball suggestion, drogon - I made with the paprika dough and filled with mushroom pate and pesto and topped with roasted red peppers. The other dough was halved and rolled out into strips - I spread each with mushroom pate and placed a mix of s-d-tomatoes, fried onion and tomato puree down the middle. I rolled the dough over to form two tubes, which I then cut into small slices - a la Chelsea buns.
For our GF friends I made canapés - fried socca pancakes, then cut out small circles which I topped with m/room pate and pesto.
They all went down a bomb! As usual, we had far too much food ( one of the GF guys brought along his own GF loaf and quince jelly, which was lovely), so I've got them in the freezer and I'll take them into my philosophy class tomorrow morning.
Thanks again, folks!
