Snow Pea Savories

These vegetable savories are delicious served cold as an appetizer with pre-dinner drinks and make a nice, healthy change from cheese and crackers. The fresh snow peas need to be crisp so don't overcook them. Recipe makes 24.

Ingredients:

24 snow peas
4 ounces (125 g) cream cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh chives, chopped
Pinch of ground cayenne pepper
1 small jar red caviar

Method:

1. Cook snow peas in boiling water for 20 seconds. Drain and rise under cold water. Split along curved side, leaving straight side intact.
2. Process remaining ingredients, except caviar, in a food processor. Using a piping bag, pipe mixture into snow peas.
3. Refrigerate until firm. Garnish with red caviar.
