Carrot Wraps
Tips and reminders for holiday cooking
Ingredients
4 to 6 large carrots, blanched
4 oz. Roquefort or blue cheese
6 oz. cream cheese
2 scallions, diced
1/2 cup walnuts, minced
1/2 cup of dried apricots, minced
1/2 cup radishes, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Cut carrots in half, lengthwise, and with a peeler, shave 24 long carrot peels. On a piece of damp wax paper, arrange the strips 10 across, and carefully roll wax paper, so that carrots curl into rolls with a 1-inch diameter.
Repeat until all carrots are rolled. Secure and refrigerate 1 hour.
In a mixer, combine cheeses. Add remaining ingredients, mixing with a fork to thoroughly combine. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto wax paper and chill.
Remove carrot curls and wrap each individually around cheese mixture. This is a perfect holiday hors d'oeuvre or cold side dish.
If you figure three per guest, this recipe serves 8.
