Finger Food

German blog entry

About a week ago I received an invitation to promote my food blog. My former colleagues asked me to present some specialties from my blog during the drama week at the BG Babenbergerring, a high school in Austria (www.bg-bab.ac.at). You might not have heard of this drama week, but I can assure you, the performances of the 13- to 18-year-olds are so fantastic, you’d want to watch again and again. They even perform in English and there’s also a lot of music, so, if you have a chance, go and watch them!

As you can imagine, I accepted this lovely invitation, firstly because I can’t wait to see what kind of productions the young students and their teachers have mounted this year, and secondly, I really was very eager to take the chance to promote my blog. Well, once I’d accepted I started to think what I could cook for the event. I decided to bake my orange bundt cake for the people with a sweet tooth. And then, of course, I also had to find something new. And that’s what I’ve finally come up with:

Rocket salad and prosciutto wraps
Avocado mousse and breadsticks
Chorizo and red wine parcels
Indian dhal and chicken saté

Rocket salad and prosciutto wraps

makes about 24

125 g (1/2 cup) cream cheese
1 tablespoon black olives, finely chopped
salt, pepper
½ teaspoon mustard
some oil (preferably the oil from dried tomatoes preserved in olive oil)
1 handful of rocket salad
150 g (5 ounces) of prosciutto
4 tortillas

 

Mix the cream cheese with the oil, mustard, salt, pepper and the chopped olives. Spread about ¼ of the cream cheese on a tortilla. Put some rocket on the cream cheese, covering only ¾ of the tortilla. Put some prosciutto on top. Roll up the tortilla very firmly, starting with the side that is fully covered with rocket and prosciutto. Cut into 1,5 cm (1/2 inch) slices. You can also fix the little rolls with a tooth pick.

It was only yesterday that I listened to a wonderful concert in which musicians of different genres played together so wonderfully, touching my soul and giving me endless peace. 
What effect does music have on you?
