My must have stater for Christmas meal is seafood bonbons.
Prawns (shrimp) and scallops poached for a minute or so and then marinaded in cream, garlic, salt and pepper. Place about a tablespoon of the mix onto a phillo pastry sheet, that has been folded in half , and roll up. Tie the ends with chives softened by putting in hot water for a few seconds. Bake in a hot oven for about 10-15 minutes. Serve with a lemon sauce made with lemon, egg yolks, cream and some stock from the prawns and scallops. Add some chopped chives and season with salt and pepper.
The bonbons can be made ahead and frozen then bake for when needed.
You can substitute the seafood for chicken or when my DI was pregnant I made them with salmon.
This is the must have for our Christmas meal and the AC's would happily forgo any other food and have only these.
