Party Hors D'oeuvres - Mini Stuffed Peppers, Teriyaki Pork Bites, and Black-Eyed Pea Salsa

Meal Time - Varies by hors d'oeuvres / Serves Varies by hors d'oeuvres

Cooking Sequence

    These recipes work well together or individually. The Black-Eyed Pea Salsa and the Mini Stuffed Peppers can both be made early in the day. Then allow about an hour to complete the Teriyaki Pork Bites. While the pork bakes, arrange your buffet with prepared platters from the Publix Deli such as meat and cheese along with fresh-cut fruit and vegetables. Add some gourmet pastries and dessert platters from the Publix Bakery. Finish your buffet with assorted dips, a selection of beverages, and a fresh floral arrangement.

Teriyaki Pork Bites

Ingredients
olive oil cooking spray
2 1/2 teaspoons garlic blend paste, divided
2 1/4 teaspoons ginger spice paste, divided
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 (18.4-ounce) package teriyaki-flavored pork tenderloin
1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
1/4 cup low-sugar apricot preserves
1 medium shallot (rinsed)
1/3 cup light mayonnaise
8 mini square plain bagels

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Combine in small bowl, 2 teaspoons each of the garlic and ginger pastes, along with pepper, until blended. Coat all sides of pork with mixture; place in baking dish (wash hands). Bake 30-35 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (for medium). Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness.
2. While pork cooks, combine in small saucepan, cranberry sauce, apricot preserves, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon ginger paste; heat on low 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until mixture melts. Meanwhile, remove ends and peel from shallot; cut in half and slice thinly. Stir shallots into cranberry mixture; cook 2-3 more minutes or until mixture is thoroughly heated.
3. Combine in small bowl, remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic paste and mayonnaise until blended; chill until ready to use. Remove cranberry sauce from heat. Cover and set aside to slightly thicken and allow flavors to blend.
4. Remove pork from oven; let stand 5-10 minutes before slicing. Cut bagels into halves (top and bottom); place on baking sheet. Bake 4-5 minutes or until lightly toasted. Slice pork thinly.
5. Assemble bagels in this order: spread 1/2 teaspoon mayonnaise mixture on each bagel half, add pork slices, and then top with cranberry mixture. Cut each bagel in half diagonally. Serve.
Note: Prep and Cook: 60 minutes (Makes 32 appetizers.)
