Catering for a small party? 4 Finger food ideas for your flawless menu

Catering for a small party can be a challenge, particularly if all of your guests have a varied appetite.

Fortunately, we at Ella Jaye Catering are here to lend a hand! We know everything about delicious party finger food in NZ.
If you’re struggling to create the perfect menu, why not consider incorporating some of the ideas below?

1. Pulled Pork Sliders

Pulled pork sliders are warm sandwiches filled with shredded pulled pork, coleslaw, coated with an onion poppy seed butter and baked in the oven till golden brown! Because pulled pork is smoked to tenderness, this is a party finger food in NZ that will have your guests craving more. Every bite is delicious!

2. Smoked Salmon Blinis

Blinis are tiny pancakes made from buckwheat flour, and they can be served with anything! Our favourite is a topping made of smoked salmon and crème fraiche. To elevate your smoked salmon blinis, consider adding caviar to the dish, or even finishing with a sprig of dill!

3. Pumpkin and Sage Arancini

Arancini has its roots in the beautiful shores of Italy, and is a dish made of golden, crispy rice balls stuffed with countless savoury fillings. For the purposes of a wide-ranging menu that caters to all of your party guests – including vegans and vegetarians! – we recommend combining arancini with pumpkin and sage.

When served with a drizzle of honey and a shaving of parmesan, this finger food caters to all tastes, and has a scrumptious flavour profile.

4. Onion Bhaji

An onion bhaji is a staple of Indian cuisine. It’s remarkably easy to make, which makes it even more tasty! In a compact mixture, onion is combined with egg, chickpea flour and a range of spices like paprika and turmeric for an earthy and warm flavour.

Guests will know and love an onion bhaji dish outright, so it stands as a brilliant complement to any menu.

While the finger foods mentioned above are savoury dishes, there are party finger foods in NZ like lemon strawberry tarts (or even miniature cheesecakes!) that add a final morsel of sweetness when your guests are happy and full!
