Freezable Party Food

domestic_goddess

I am going to make some party food today for over christmas and put it in the freezer to get out when I need it....

I was thinking

HM Sausage rolls - I have sausage meat and puff pastry....... at what stage can I freeze it. Cooked or uncooked?

HM mini Pizza's - again at what stage can I freeze it.

Can anyone think of anything else that I canmake and keep for over the festive period..... I am trying to make things as stress free as possible for christmas.

Also if I buy frozen vol au vonts can I cook and freeze them?
Thanks

You can freeze vol-au-vents, same as sausage rolls, both cooked or uncooked.

I've done these before for a buffet ...they went down great guns ...I made in advance,Froze them ,defrosted the night before and just heated up in the oven (in a dish covered with foil, I expect you could reheat in the microwave too) They're also great served with spaghetti and pasta sauce.

500g Lean minced beef
1 onion finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
1 chicken stock cube dissoved in 2 tbsp hot water
1 apple peeled,cored & grated
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
generous pinch brown sugar
s&p to taste
flour for coating
veg oil for frying

Mix all in large bowl ( except flour & oil ) make into about 24 balls, coat with flour and just fry until cooked .

These actually taste quite nice cold too

mini hamburgers
mini steak rolls
mini hot dogs

also made the most devine tex bean wraps which i made the day before- delicious!

This is a link to my recipe for mini quiches made in bun tins, which I freeze for packed lunches - we just take out however many are required for that day.
