The Brony Chef Project #4: Rarity

She is truly a gem to many who watch My Little Pony: Freindship is Magic and somebody worth mentioning. She is the Queen of class and she is always the one with the "gemstone chic'" style. She is stlylish, sopisticated and the sametime generous with to the world and her friends around her. She is the one and only Rarity.

Rarity is an unicorn who is the most feminen but she is more mature one out of the Mane Six. She is the element of generosity and she alwayswilling to give who is less fortunate then her. She keeps her head high in Canterlot while she keeps her roots of friendship in Ponyville. You might say, she is has royal standards but she still gives you a chance to be in the same room with her. She is also high demanding when it comes to her work as a dress maker and avoids anything that is uncivilized and messy. Yet she always gives respect and understanding to those around her. She can be devine without excluding anyone.

This recipie is perfect for parties around the house or on some other potluck situation. You don't have to be a gourmet chef to make this and it is super easy to assemble. If your not familiar with hor' derves, a canapé is an appetizer that has a solid foundation (traditionally a cracker) with a topping or some other small food item that people can "pop" into there mouth as a quick snack. With this canapé, its somewhat of a reinvention of the traditional English cucumber tea sandwich (without the bread and gluten) that fits Rarity's sophisticated background. The cream represents her smoothed out attitude to other pony's but has a little bite from the salt to reflect her "appropriate anger" to those who wrong her or her friends. The seasonal fruit on top is more for decoration but it is the perfect season for blackberries and you can add any other seasonal berry or thin peice of fruit on top for a fresher flare.

Rarity's Royal Canapés

 

Serves ~20 Canapés

 

Canapé

1 Cucumber; sliced in rounds 16-20 slices

a few black berries for garnish or any other seasonal fruit, cut in half or thinly

Herbal Cream Base

4 oz of Cream Cheese

2 oz of sour cream

2 Tps of minced chives

2 1/2 Tps of Dill weed

a pinch of sea salt

1. In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese and sour cream to create the base. Add the herbs one at a time and mix into the base. Add the salt to taste and mix until incorporated. Place the mixture inside your refrigerator for later use.

2. Once ready to serve, place the cucumber slices on a platter and dollop the cream mixture on top of the cucumber slice or use a plastic bag with the left tip cut off to pipe the mixture on the slice. Place the peice of fruit on top for garnish and serve.



Fall/Winter

 

 

Summer

 

This appetizer has the sophistication of a high society garden party, while its easy enough to make for any party or get together. This recipe is also my formula for all cool, cream based appetizers. IN other words, you can use the cream base and customize it to creat your own canapé or some other creation involving a creamy topping.

A big thank you to http://bioniclegahlok.deviantart.com/ for providing the artwork for Rarity. He's been doing art work on Deviant Art for four years and he's really talented. With that in mind, I say "thank you" to bioniclegahlok.

I hope you enjoy the fourth installment of the Brony Chef Project. I have only about two more characters until I covered the Mane Six. Don't worry though, there will be more. Don't forget to comment below and on Facebook. There is also a reaction box below to see what you think of these points, so don't forget to click.

For now, I bid you a-do and treat yourself like a king/queen once in a while.
