6 of the best canapés to serve at a party

There are so many options of what to serve at a party, it can be hard to decide which are the dishes that your guests will write home about. At Salt of the Earth Catering, our clients are always asking 'what are your most popular dishes?'. So today we are sharing the six platters that are guaranteed to get your guests talking.

1. Roast beef and horseradish cream on parmesan crisps.

Soft, melt-in-your-mouth roast beef, a smooth dollop of cream and a crunchy parmesan crisp - the textures alone make this canapé one not-to-be-missed. But what makes this dish a star is a unique knock-out flavour combination. The subtle hint of horseradish creeps in amongst the rare roast beef slices, with the final punch delivered by the crispy cooked parmesan. Delish!

2. Pork belly bites with caramelised apple

Pork crackling is a luxury for many of us - it can be tough to get it right but when you do, you can be sure that the whole family will be fighting over every last bit. Our pork belly bites are no exception. Bite-size pieces of pork belly with crackling on top are paired with their perfect counterpart - caramelised apple. Just be sure to order enough - our guests have been known to scramble for the last one.

3. Sesame-seared tuna with ginger

Seared ever so gently on either side and coated with sesame seeds, our tuna remains bright pink in the middle. Topped with the soft pink of pickled ginger, these become a stunning coloured display floating around your party. A real crowd-pleaser, this match made in heaven is served with both soy sauce and wasabi mayonnaise.

4. Peking duck pancakes

Duck pancakes, everyone's favourite entree, also make it onto our hit list. Rarely do we see someone turn away one of these Chinese classics. Peking duck, shallots, thin slices of cucumber and the hero - Hoi Sin sauce are all wrapped up in a soft pancake to make these beauties.

5. Caramelised onion and goats cheese tarts

To make these vegetarian delights, we place a generous amount of sweet caramelised onion in a shortcrust pastry tart, and top with a dollop of soft goats cheese and a sprig of thyme. The result is an utterly lip-smacking sensation sure to impress your guests.

6. Trio of desserts

So you've already wowed your guests with your savoury treats, and just when they think they are too full to eat any more, you bring out the pièce de résistance, a trio of desserts. We make mouthfuls of lemon meringue pie, tiramisu and chocolate mousse in shot glasses - the perfect size for just a taste of each (believe us, they'll want one of each!). These will ensure your guests go home on a high (even if it's just a sugar high).
