Ingredients

  • 1 ½ tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
  • ½ cup chopped onions
  • ½ cup chopped carrots ¼ inch cubes
  • ½ cup chopped beans ¼ inch pieces
  • 200 gms mushrooms quartered
  • ½ cup tiny broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour maida
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon mustard paste
  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese
  • 15-20 canape shells
  • 15-20 black olive slices

Instructions

  • Heat butter in a wide pan, add garlic and onions and saute for 2 minutes on low till they turn translucent. Add carrots, beans, mushrooms, mix well and cook covered on low for 3 minutes till they are cooked to tender but not mushy. Add broccoli & saute for only a minute just until they are tender.
    1 ½ tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic, ½ cup chopped onions, ½ cup chopped carrots, ½ cup chopped beans, 200 gms mushrooms, ½ cup tiny broccoli florets
  • Add all purpose flour and saute for 2-3 minutes on low till the flour is cooked and smells slightly nutty. Add milk in parts and keep whisking into flour till it thickens, adding more milk as you go. This prevents the sauce from getting lumpy. Simmer on low whisking frequently for 2-3 minutes till the sauce thickens.
    1 tablespoon all purpose flour, 1 cup milk
  • Season with salt, italian seasoning, mustard paste, mix well and cook for a minute. Add cream cheese, mix well and take off the heat. Transfer to a bowl and let it cool down.
    ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon mustard paste, 1 tablespoon cream cheese
  • At the time of serving, fill 1 ½ tablespoons of the veggie mix in each canape shell, place an olive slice on top and serve immediately.
    15-20 black olive slices

Notes

  1. Assemble the canapes just before serving to ensure they stay crisp.
