Snow Peas'n Cream Cheese

This dish looks beautiful on a buffet table or is a great low cal appetizer. There is a slightly spicey flavor but nice. Don't put all of the horseradis in at once if you are concerned about it being too hot Serve at room temperature.

8 servings or 24 Filled Snow Peas

24 snow peas, trimmed
1-1/4 tablespoons horseradish
3 drops Tabasco sauce
6 ounces low-fat cream cheese, room temp
3/4 cup sliced radishes
salt and pepper

Blanch the snow peas in boiling water for 1 minute. Immediately dash them into cold water (use a few Ice cubes in the water). Slit open the inside if each pea (I call the"inside" the slightly concave side). Set aside.

Puree the remaining ingredients in a food processor until very smooth. Spoon the radish cream into each of the snow peas (if you have an icing tube or pastry tube they will work well and give an even finish).

Arrange the filled peas on a platter already covered in red lettuce or radicchio leaves. Arrange them in a pattern (Fan, Spray, side by side or whatever).
