Entertaining

Entertaining friends is easy with Hans in the fridge. Try these quick and easy recipes at your next get together:

1. Cut rounds of pastry, place a piece of Hans Kabana, smoked cheese and semi-dried tomato on each, cover with pastry lid and bake.
2. Skewer chunks of Hans Strassburg, char-grilled capsicum and stuffed olives and serve.
3. Grill Hans Bacon and chop finely. Fold into spreadable cream cheese with chives. Serve as a dip with vegetable sticks.
4. To make tasty mini pizzas, spread puff pastry with tomato paste, top with chopped Hans Salami, black olives, capers and top with cheese and bake.
5. Wrap Hans Bacon around pitted dates filled with feta cheese. Skewer and grill.
6. Cubes of Hans Strassburg dipped in egg batter, rolled in crumbs and deep fried make great pre-dinner nibbles.
7. Cut thin slices of Hans Polish, spread with herbed cream cheese, add an asparagus spear or semi-dried tomatoes, roll up, cut into pieces and secure with a toothpick.
8. Make Salami Chips- microwave Hans Salami on high for one minute. Leave to cool and serve with dips. For very hot Salami Chips, use Hans Sliced Peperoni.
9. Cut par-baked dinner rolls along the top, place a Hans English Breakfast Sausage in the roll and bake for 5-6 minutes. Serve with mustard or sauce of your choice.

HORS D'OEUVRE SELECTION

Bacon Sausage wraps with Thai dipping sauce
Wrap small sausages with rindless tail end of bacon, secure with toothpicks and cook under a hot grill until the bacon sizzles. Combine equal parts Thai fish sauce and sweet chilli sauce, add lime juice and sugar to taste and serve in a small dish for dipping.

Salami Baguette Slices
Cut slices of fresh French stick, flavour spreadable cream cheese with basil pesto and spread over the bread.  Cut salami slices in half, tear small pieces of lettuce.  Arrange lettuce and salami on each bread and secure with a toothpick pierced into a stuffed green olive.

Mini Melts
Cut discs of fresh bread the size of a Strassburg sausage, and toast on one side. Cut strassburg sausage into 5cm slices and grill lightly. Place over the toast, and add a slice of cherry tomato, then cover with strips of Swiss cheese.
Melt under a hot grill, and add a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs, or a sprig of parsley to serve.
