Best fillings for Vol au Vents?

jules1000 · 13-12-2014, 13:38

I am going to be taking some to a party and wondered what are popular and tasy fillings to put in Vol au Vents.

Simple but tasty recipes in your opinions.

Answers very much appreciated.

Can't go wrong with tuna mayonnaise!!

Chicken in white sauce
Prawn mayo / marie rose
roast beef and horseradish

They're the ones I'd choose!

postit · 13-12-2014, 18:07

I would say, fill them with what you like best

Orangemaid · 13-12-2014, 18:22

what about tuna and mayo ?

molliepops · 13-12-2014, 18:36

Brie and cranberry is nice for Christmas or stilton and caramelised onion.

You could also use mincemeat and orange or apple again nice and Christmassy.

LilAbby · 13-12-2014, 18:42

Creamed or garlic mushrooms would be my choice.

Valaraukar · 13-12-2014, 19:31

It may not be to everybody's taste, but I'm partial to Stilton topped with caviar.

Well I was thinking
Smoked Salmon and dill
Mushroom and asparagus
Egg mayonnaise with paprika.

Just thought I'd ask if anyone had some ideas on popular choices.
Thanks so far.

Brie and cranberry is seasonal and vegetarian friendly (so I would suggest that, wouldn't I?)

Mini yorkshire puddings with roast beef and onion gravy.

I was thinking of an alternative. You can put the roast beef and gravy (thick gravy, more like caramelised onions) in a vol au vent case if you want but a mini yorkshire would make it more authentic.

wildpumpkin · 13-12-2014, 22:44

Rice, peanuts, orange segments chopped up mixed in a nice garlic mayonnaise with a sprinkling of chopped chives on top. Tasty and ok for vegetarians....but not for nut allergies obviously!!

Ah I get it now had me puzzled at first

Rab64 · 14-12-2014, 16:01

Chopped mushrooms, cooked,and mixed with a can of Campbells mushroom soup straight from the can

junnja · 29-12-2014, 10:42

Macaroni cheese.

StrictlyEastend · 29-12-2014, 10:58

Prawns with Marie Rose sauce

or chicken and mushroom.

sarahj1986 · 29-12-2014, 12:59

I used the deli filler pots (tuna n sweetcorn, chicken n sweetcorn, egg mayo etc) and found them to be very good. The best is of course prawns with seafood sauce

Georges Grun · 30-12-2014, 05:16

Roast Wolf

If roast wolf is unavailable in your area, you might consider chicken (or lamb) tikka.

shmisk · 30-12-2014, 15:21

garlic mushrooms

in fact mushrooms in any sauce

Aarghawasp! · 30-12-2014, 21:49

Definitely mushroom!
