For our Christmas Party with the Chancel Choir I prepared these:
The finished ROSES of Roast Beef Canapés...
Did not have any marygold flowers for garnishing as in the magazines photo below.
Roast Beef Canapés - Victoria Magazine September 2021 recipe in comment click on link to my Pinterest board ROSES as FOOD
On a sheet of parchment I put the baguette slices and brushed them with olive oil.
Into the oven for 15 minutes on 370℉
While they cooled down, I made the rosettes.
From the thin sliced ¼ pound of roast beef I started cutting each slice in half.
That was NOT mentioned in the recipe however but I figured this out by looking at the roast beef 'roses'.
Next each half needs to be folded over and then rolled into a roast beef rosette...
With a small butter knife I spread the mayonaise mixture on each crostino.
Fanning out three pieces of arugula on mixture, before placing the roast beef rosettes.
Using the Mason's Patent Ironstone Mandalay tray...
It was fun creating these edible roses!

Wishing you Peace during this time of the year!

Your canapés have the excellent combination of the beautiful colors. People must be fascinated and forget to taste them.
ReplyDeleteDearest RTC,
DeleteIt was exactly that, what made me love the picture in the magazine; so I had to make them.
Presenting food in an attractive way is a feast for the eye as well...

Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty way to serve a canapé.
Happy Second Day of Christmas....suzi
Dearest Suzi,
DeleteYes, it is very pretty that way and as much as I love 'Roses', this was it to make and bring.
Thank you and Happy 2nd Christmas Day to you as well.
Hugs,
Mariette
You are really amazing. What a lot of patience ... and love, to do all these individually. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.

Cara Mariette le tue rose di roast beef sono bellissime e deliziose al palato.

Wow, how beautiful! They look really delicious.
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteThey looked and tasted well!
Pieter and I did sample one each...😉

Hello Mariette, Those sure look both good and fun! What prevents them from unrolling? I was always willing to make special food for guests, but I don't think that I ever made decorative food like this--I know my limits!

Dearest Jim,
DeleteThey looked so appealing in the magazine but they leave you kind of in limbo about how to. The trick is to let them sit on the straight (knife cut) edge after rolling and the folded part is at the top.
If you keep that in mind, it is not difficult at all.
Hugs,
Mariette
Very pretty and delicious I am sure. We got back from Austin in time to be treated to a home cooked steak dinner at a friends house in Dallas. Busy day packing away Christmas….I am ready for the new year.
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
DeleteThank you and yes, those are no doubt on our list for repeating.
That Austin trip was a fabulous experience, even if the climbing to get to the scenic overlook was strenuous.
We sure are ready for the new year, hoping to get the exterior painting done this week. Two men are working on it, on and off...
Hugs,
Mariette
They look beautiful and stylish.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful Christmas and wishing you and Pieter a healthy and happy 2022.
Dearest Sami,
DeleteYes, we both had a wonderful Christmas, a REAL one.
Singing twice the Händel's Messiah and also lots of Christmas carols on Christmas Eve and in the morning.
Hugs,
Mariette
Like a work of art (and tasty too.)
ReplyDeleteDearest Helen,
DeleteThank you and after singing Händel's Messiah, it had to be special...
Hugs,
Mariette
Your sandwiches look very tasty. They are also very beautifully presented. I guess they tasted exceptionally good.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from winter Poland:)
