Aren't these colorful? I needed an easy party food idea, and since I was already making my 'Untidy Joseph' slider recipe with the buffalo meat, I just cooked up some brown rice, and blended them together. Softened up some mini Savoy Cabbage leaves in a hot water bath for about 10 minutes and into a cold water bath, and then stuffed them.
Once I covered them in the roasted red pepper puree with added goat cheese, I popped them into a hot 475 degree oven for about 20 minutes to brown...
Let them cool a bit, and place small toothpicks into them at an angle and place them on a platter...they do not fall apart at all!
The combination of flavors of the buffalo, rice, crunch of the cabbage along with the roasted red pepper and goat cheese were a big hit!
I am not going to take credit for the Roasted Red Pepper Puree and Goat Cheese since I have seen it in the Market, but man could it stand on its on as a dip or sauce, and bet it would be nice over some steak, or chicken with a side of pasta or rice!
Roast red peppers and peel the charred skins off, and then puree with some garlic cloves, salt and pepper, and a shot of apple cider vinegar or your vinegar choice...crumble goat cheese...
Funny, but when I was writing this, I thought I would keep it short and sweet, since I do over indulge in the blabber most of the time, but Donna-FFW @ mytastytreasures passed this along, and she got it from one of my other friends, Reeni @ Cinnamon Spice & Everything Nice, here you have to reveal 10 things about yourself.. and pass it along... Debra @ Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History passed it along to me and I wear it proudly Donna, and will add your name under hers for thinking I am worthy of Honest Scrap! Go check them out if you have not, they are all great reads!- My favorite number is numbers like 3, 5, 7, 12...some biblical, and others because I have mentioned before Asian beliefs feel it is like a balance of nature to plate food in this manner.
