Every Indian household follows a simple rule- feed your guests to your best potential! Literally, every Indian family abides by this rule to the T. Hence, for every single course, starting from appetizers to desserts, the menu set is bound to be extremely wholesome. Also, Indians always ensure they create a great impression!
First impressions are everything; since appetizers are the first course throughout the meal, it has to be bang on. These help you make the best impression and set the tone for the rest of the evening in terms of food. One must always ensure that since appetizers are eaten while your guests mingle, they need to be bite-sized or extremely easy to eat.
So, here I bring to you, a list of my favourite Italian appetizers that you should definitely prepare to blow the mind of your guests at the next gathering:
Panzenella
Panzenella is a Tuscan tomato and bread salad that comes with a great flavour and texture. Prepared with onion, tomato, and bread, and drizzled with a dressing of vinegar and olive oil, this lightweight salad will definitely set the right tone for your gathering. It is perfect for those who are conscious about what they eat and also for those who just want to eat delicious food!
Bruschetta Recipe
I am pretty sure we all must have eaten a bruschetta at least once. For those who have not, now is the time to try it yourself and make a banging impression on your guests by serving it to them. Lovely sourdough bread, topped with tomatoes and onions, drizzled with olive oil and seasoning, makes this dish an absolutely delight. Trust me, you will be in agreement on this with every bite you take.
Focaccia Bread
Imagine: an extremely soft and flavourful loaf of bread dipped in a delicious, thick, and creamy sauce. Doesn't the sound of it make your mouth water? Well, Focaccia bread can be used to make a sandwich or to eat with soup, or simply to eat with a dip. It can be prepared with olives, jalapenos, and various herbs among more.
Calzone
Calzones are like a surprise on your plate. The outer covering will always be lovely, golden-brown, and crispy but, the filling will be a nice surprise. You could prepare a vegetarian one or with meat too. Every bite of this is heavenly and trust me this dish is worth being the star of the evening.
So now, set the tone of your entire meal with these lovely and lip-smacking appetisers. These will definitely leave your guests extremely satisfied.
