Ingredients
- 12 pieces of Carr’s Crackers
- 1 Swiiti fruit
- 2 slices of Cheddar cheese
- 2 mini bell peppers
- A small bunch of sprouts
Crab Stick Salad
- 2 sticks of imitation crab meat
- 2 Tbsp canned corn kernels
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 sticks of imitation crab meat
- 2 Tbsp canned corn kernels
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Before peeling the Swiiti, it’s crucial to wash it thoroughly. Use a fruit wash, a solution of vinegar and water, or even rub it with salt, followed by rinsing. Alternatively, you can briefly dip it in hot water. This step helps remove any surface contaminants that might transfer to the fruit’s flesh while you’re peeling it by hand.
Step 2
Carefully peel away the outer and inner membranes of the Swiiti, then separate the fruit segments, ensuring only the juicy pulp is ready for use.
Step 3
Let’s gather the ingredients needed for our canapés. First, we have plain crackers and slices of cheddar cheese. Now, let’s prepare the crab stick salad: finely shred 2 sticks of imitation crab meat, then mix it with 2 tablespoons of canned corn kernels and 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise until well combined. We also have mini bell peppers, which we’ll slice into decorative rounds.
Step 4
Cut the Swiiti into bite-sized pieces suitable for topping the canapés. Slice the cheddar cheese into shapes slightly smaller than the crackers to ensure a neat presentation. Preparing the ingredients attractively is key to a beautiful final dish.
Step 5
Now, let’s assemble the canapés! Start by placing a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each cracker. Spoon a generous amount of the crab stick salad over the cheese. Add a colorful piece of mini bell pepper, followed by a piece of Swiiti. Finally, crown each canapé with a small sprig of sprouts for a fresh, vibrant finish. Your delicious Swiiti canapés are ready to impress!
