Today I offer an appetizer for drinks: to change from cakes, appetizers and other foliations which decreases appetite, I propose to make these scallops with two tablespoons with different vegetable creams. The first is a cream of carrot and coriander, the second is a cream of parsnip truffle oil. All this can be done in advance and warmed up a few seconds in the microwave just before serving. These spoons can done with other vegetables: artichokes, parsley root… The appetizer spoons give a nice look to your buffet presentation, plus they are not expensive and can be very stylish.
