We recently asked members of our regional Bar Bat Mitzvah Planning groups on Facebook to name their favorite Mitzvah hors d’oeuvres. Top pick? Mini hot dogs of course! We also asked a top Mitzvah caterer, to share their recipes for most requested apps.

Try This At Home
Looking for a little Mitzvah culinary inspiration at home? SPACE Events, which recently launched a mobile SPACE Kitchen, is a full service event planning, design, production and entertainment company based in Englewood, NJ. They say that their crab cakes with mango salsa and lamb chops with chimichurri sauce are two of their most requested hors d’oeuvres for Bar and Bat Mitzvah celebrations. They’re sharing their secret ingredients with our readers:
Combine crab meat, celery, red pepper, scallions, cilantro, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, and eggs in a bowl; gently scoop into small patties and lightly fry on the stove top until golden brown. To make the mango salsa combine fresh mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and fresh lemon juice in a bowl. Let chill, then scoop over cooked crab cakes
To make chimichurri sauce combine chopped shallot, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, parsley, red vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. While sauce is resting, grill or broil lamb chops until medium rare; top with chimichurri and serve








We all hope to be back enjoying these delicious Bar Bat Mitzvah celebration appetizers soon!
