Here are a few recipes for delicious cold snacks on skewers. As a substrate for such a dish, the coolant is most often a small piece of dried bread (it is most convenient to make the crochettes approximate in shape to a rectangle or a triangle with a side about 2 cm in size).

Appetizers on skewers with herring and cucumber

Ingredients:

Rye bread;
butter, natural;
greens (parsley, coriander, basil).
fillet of slightly salted herring, marinated or spicy salting;
fresh cucumbers.

Preparation

Cut the fillets of herring in small pieces, and cucumber - thin circles or ovals.

Bread, too, cut into thin small pieces (suitable for the size of a piece of herring) and, neatly spreading into one layer on a dry baking sheet, dried in an oven, but not to a crunchy cracker , but only lightly. Cool the croutons and spread each butter. On top of each lay a couple of leaves of greenery, then - a piece of herring fillets, the last layer - a piece of cucumber. We fasten the structure with a skewer and collect the remaining canapes . We put ready canapés on a serving dish or a small tray. Before serving, keep in a cool place so that the oil does not melt.

It should be noted that it is possible to replace herring with salmon, trout, pink salmon or other salmon. Also for this fit mackerel, mackerel, anchovies, saury, herring or sardines, of course, in lightly salted or marinated. Such canapés will suit vodka, gin, and aquavit.

Snack on skewers with prawns, melted cheese and lemon

Ingredients:

white bread;
shrimp small;
cheese fused (for example, Viola);
leaves of cilantro and basil;
lemon.

Preparation

We cut the bread into small unbroken pieces and dry it in the oven. We spread each piece with melted cheese. Next, put a leaf of greenery, on top - a thin slice of lemon, and the next layer of edible part of shrimp (boiled, of course). We fasten with a skewer. Such canapés can be served well for white or pink wine.

Snack on skewers with olives and cheese

Ingredients:

white bread;
cheese (semi-solid, for example, Gouda or Dutch, but in general, any one that does not crumble, and without mold - these are eaten separately);
pitted olives are dark or green.

Preparation

Bread cut into small thin pieces of this size, so it was convenient to eat, as they say, one bite. Slightly (and not "into a crunch"), dry the bread on a baking sheet in the oven.

While the croutons cool down, cut the cheese into small pieces of suitable shape. Spread pieces of cheese on pieces of bread. From above put half of the olive cut along. We fasten the structure with a skewer.

These canapes will suit almost any wine, cognac, grappa, rakia.

For children (in the case, for example, the birthday of the child) snacks on skewers can be prepared with marmalade, for this a piece of bread on the substrate is not needed, it is better to replace it with cheese.
