STUFFED RAW VEGETABLES

Hollowed-out vegetables make terrific cases for any number of fillings. When stuffing round vegetables, first cut a small slice off the bottom of each vegetable to keep them from rolling around the platter. Fill the vegetable cases using a small spoon or pastry bag.

Prepare one of the following:

  • Blue Cheese Spread with Walnuts
  • Basic Cream Cheese Spread
  • Treva’s Pimiento Cheese

Pipe or spoon this mixture into:

  • Celery ribs; Belgian endive leaves; small, sweet peppers, halved and seeded; scooped-out baby yellow squash or zucchini; hollowed out ½-inch cucumber rounds
