that will feature 2 different stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer, a butterflied chicken stuffed under the skin with a ricotta mixture, served with a Provencal stuffed tomato, and I need a simple stuffed fruit dessert that is not too rich.

I suppose I could just core apples, fill with nuts and raisins and bake, huh?

Thanks in advance!

 
Stuffed apples or pears w/ goat cheese or cream cheese or blue cheese, dried fruit, nuts, cinnamon..

 
I have one from Caprial Pence, "Walnut Stuffed Apples", that is wonderful.

Mascarpone, walnuts, cinnamon etc. I thought I had it in my MC but don't. If you're interested I'll type it up tomorrow morning. Just toooo whipped to do it right now.

 
REC: Stuffed Figs Drizzled with Chocolate - I just remembered this one - I posted it for several

people, and they loved it.

STUFFED FIGS DRIZZLED WITH CHOCOLATE

1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
10 fresh figs, washed, stems removed
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier (one reviewer used a little juice from the orange)
1 orange, sliced

1. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, cooled pine nuts, orange zest, nutmeg and pepper, mixing until smooth.

2. Slice each fig in half lengthwise.

3. Press about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into the cut side of each fig half.

4. Melt chocolate and butter in micro 1 minute (or use double boiler); add Grand Marnier, stir till creamy.

5. Drizzle over stuffed figs.

6. Garnish on a platter with orange slices.

Thanks, everyone! This gives me so many options. I'll probably choose a non-cheese

recipe for this instance becuase there are cheese stuffings earlier on, but I will save the whole thread for future reference.
