A new one I've stumbled onto is spicy sausage stuffed mushrooms - really easy, but I'm not sure how it will work with no utensils. I pop them in my mouth, but they do get pretty wet, so maybe won't work.
Here's the recipe anyway, you decide:
1 # chub pork sausage
approx. 20 fresh mushrooms, stems removed
1 8 oz. jar chile jelly (I use
Millicent's Champagne Red or Yellow Pepper jelly , but any brand would do)
Finely chopped italian parsley to decorate (optional)
1. Take the sausage and mix it evenly with the jar of jelly.
2. Take cleaned, de-stemmed mushrooms, and stuff with approx. 1 tsp (depending on the size of the shroom).
3. Put mushrooms in shallow baking dish and sprinkle parsley over the top - just for color accent, not necessarily flavor.
4. Bake (I don't have the recipe in front of me, but I'm guessing it was between 350-425 for approx. 15 minutes).
I don't like mushrooms, but I loved these! They were fabulous!
Actually, the millicent's jelly makes a good dip, too - take half a jar and whip it with a block of cream cheese. It's great on crackers, veggies, etc.... Their apple butter is good the same way - makes a nice, sweet dip for apples and graham crackers.
Good luck!
