By Volpi Foods

Don't keep using the same old finger food recipes for your future parties. We're talking about the chips and salsas, fruit trays, and cracker and cheese assortments. It's time to have some fun in the kitchen during and really knock the socks off your guests with your unique, fun finger food recipes! Well, Volpi Foods, one of America's oldest and most prestigious manufacturer Italian meats, wants to help you with some great ideas for finger food recipes - Italian style, so that your next get-together will be a memorable one.

Italian is among one of America's most popular cuisines. Normally when people think of Italian dishes, they think of heavy pastas, pizza, and lasagna. But there are many wonderful ways to fix Italian cuisine - that don't involve the heavy entrees that can make your guests sleepy. We'd like to suggest some creative Italian selections which involve delicious specialty meat products - served as finger food recipes or appetizers - to make any mouth water.

One such recipe that is great for folks who are short on time, but sure to impress guests is an antipasto dish. This "before the meal" treat is decadently arranged and very aesthetically pleasing. We recommend mozzarella and provolone cheese with Volpi's Milano Salami, pre-sliced prosciutto and coppa. All you have to do to make this dish is roll up the meats and cut cheeses into small square cubes, and arrange nicely on your serving dish. For a quick appetizer, try Volpis rotola, which is made of thinly sliced prosciutto rolled in mozzarella cheese. All you do is slice and serve!

Another wonderful finger food recipe is Volpis antipasticks. These skewers make for a real classic and delicious pairing your guests will want to indulge in as soon as they come in the door. For this dish, use Volpini sliced salami, mozzarella cheese, green and black olives, grape tomatoes, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. To prepare, place olives and tomatoes in a bowl and season with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Cut cheese in cubes. Place (in this order) slice of salami, cheese, salami, tomato, salami and olive on the toothpick. And how about we recommend a great wine pairing? Try a crisp Pinot Grigio or a robust Chianti Classico.

Volpi invites you to take a deeper look into the finger food recipes you make for your next party. Often times, a really great and decadent appetizer is all that is needed! Not only are these suggested finger food ideas Italian meat delicacies, they are very easy to make. With dishes such as these, we recommend leaving pretzel and chip dips for the kids' next sleepover. - 23802
