My another invention of one of my favorite seafood – scallops. It can be prepared a few hours in advance and kept refrigerated. I made those in baking sea scallop shells, but you can make it in ramekens as well.
Appetizers
Tuna Crudo with Sea Grapes
Have you heard about sea grapes? I just learned about it. It looks like grapes, pops in your mouth, tastes like a seaweed and compliments beautifully raw seafood dishes and salads.
Buttery Crab
Serve in small individual ramekins with your favorite crackers and champagne.
Goat Cheese Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms
Yes, It’s summertime, sun is shining and zucchinis are blooming. Not all of them were meant to become a zucchini. Only female flowers produce fruits. All parts of zucchini are absolutely edible. Some people remove pestle from the male flower before eating, I see no reason. Have done that and it does not taste any different, so I just skip that step. It pairs amazingly with a crisp glass of white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. The batter is very light and crispy. I hope you’re gonna enjoy as much as we do!
Crispy Lentil Croquettes with Toasted Seeds and Cilantro – Avocado Aioli
Crispy, flavor party in your mouth croquettes could be served as an appetizer, snack or as a main dish with some salad on the side. Can be made a day in advance and kept refrigerated until ready to cook.
Escargot
This is one of our favorite, most loved appetizers ever. If you have never tried escargot, it has pretty unique, pleasant buttery, earthy flavor, texture reminds mushrooms. Usually in France it’s served with European quality butter, garlic, fresh (of course flat leave) parsley and French baguette. I like to add some freshly grated parmesan for extra umami flavor.
Butter Bean Salad with Infused Olive Oil and Zucchini Ribbons
This salad is something out of this world. It can be a quick lunch (even if it requires oil infusion, don’t be scared), side dish or served as an appetizer. Enough talking, let’s get started!

This salad was very popular 10-15 years ago and still is in Lithuanian parties. My dear friend Rasele taught me maybe 20 years ago how to make it and Today I would like to share it with you. It requires just a few ingredients, quick chopping, mix and that’s it.
