I know the perfect host by preparing these appetizers with canned

Each time that we organize a family meal or a dinner with friends, whether to celebrate a birthday, a promotion, or by Christmas, we spent a lot of time to think about what will be the best menu and, preferably, their preparation does not involve spending too much time in the kitchen. In this post we will see some examples of starters and snacks from food in canned very quick to make and with which we will be able to surprise all of our guests.

Appetizers with anchovies

The anchovy is a semi-preserve (that is why we should always keep it in our fridge), very rich and highly important in our cuisine. We could eat them alone with a bit of oil and bread, and would be fabulous, but we can also prepare some snacks a little more elaborate that we are not going to take no time at all. In these situations the slices of bread are definitely a good ally to have in the kitchen and we can make them with a little cream cheese and cream of tomato soup, with foie gras, piquillo red peppers or dill pickles cut into small pieces, cream cheese and corn. Four cold recipes very easy to make, with food that we can easily have at home and that do not require any time. Also can be mounted in no time at all a few skewers of anchovy with tomatoes cherrys and goat cheese or make a salad of anchovies and cheese (with parmesan is delicious).

Appetizers with sardine

If you prefer to opt for the sardines (a food very rich in Omega 3 and that helps to lower high cholesterol), you can make a tasty pate mixed with butter, chopped onions, pickles, a dash of pepper and lemon juice. Another idea that can save us from more of a fix is to smear a little cheese on a toast and put the sardines in oil, some toasted almonds and a dash of paprika. With just these ingredients, we got another delicious appetizer.

Appetizers with mussels

The mussels (a rich source of essential vitamins and minerals) are also quite recurrent in our kitchen and we can serve it easily with white asparagus and a bit of mayonnaise or with green asparagus and a drizzle of olive oil. If we want to give a touch more sophisticated, we need to simply add a layer of kikos crushed and will leave everyone impressed.

Incoming with olives

Another perfect option is the olives: nearly everyone likes it and are very affordable. Rich in both Omega 3 and Omega 6, as well as in vitamins and fiber. We can add them to a bowl with a little chopped onion and a touch of paprika, aromatic herbs and olive oil, or prepare small skewers by placing cherry tomato, cheese and olives.

Appetizers with clams

Here we have another possible idea: mix a can of clams (a food very rich in iron) with pickles, red onion and add juice of lemon and the juice of the clams to get a delicious cocktail. Another options, also fantastic as a starter, place in a pot with a little water, soy, rum, sugar and green pepper until they reach boiling point, add the clams and cook until reduced almost completely all of the liquid.

Snacks with cockles

In terms of simple snacks with cockles (very rich in iron like clams) we can add them to a bowl with cream cheese and make a delicious pate. If you prefer to give a touch more fruitiness to contrast with the flavor of the mollusk, we can mix them with apple, lime, purple onion, pepper and olive oil or with mango, red onion, black pepper, lime and olive oil.

Starters with tuna

The tuna it is a fish that today we find in almost any home. Among its properties, the tuna has a high content in Omega-3 fatty acids, and prevents of cardiovascular diseases. We can quickly prepare a salad of tuna with boiled egg, red onion and mayonnaise, and certain that we were right.

If on the other hand you prefer to opt for the mackerel preserved (the other fish is very rich in nutrients and that also helps to lower high cholesterol) we just need to put it in a dish with piquillo peppers to get a rich incoming.
