Halloween is an exceptional festival because of its vibrance and purpose. Halloween is celebrated by numerous people all around the world. We are here to show you some unique dishes you can prepare for your Halloween feast.
The Halloween celebration takes place every year on October 31st. The inception of the Halloween celebration dates back to thousands of years ago, from the Celtic festival of Samhain. This festival involved people lighting bonfires and decking themselves up in various costumes to chase away the ghosts.
Pope Gregory III declared November 1st as All Saints Day, and the evening before that eventually came to be known as Hallows Eve. In later times it evolved into Halloween. In current times, Halloween celebrations involve people disguising themselves as scary beings, objects, or celebrities. People play various games and decorate their houses with lights and spooky decors to scare away the trick-or-treat guests.
However, amidst all the beautiful and scary decorations, just like every other celebration, the most important aspect of Halloween is food!
There is a reason why the food during Halloween is so special to mention. The uniqueness of the food of this festival is its theme! During the Halloween celebration, we decorate the food in the spookiest ways possible. We make them look like objects that usually scare people!
We are here to bring you some fancy and unique Halloween food decoration ideas that complement the Halloween theme party well and make your feast a worthwhile remembrance for your guests!
Let us now take a look at some interesting Halloween food ideas:
Eyeball Caprese
As spooky as the name sounds, the Eyeball Caprese does look super scary. This entire salad based Halloween themed food is sure to blow the minds of your guests. Nothing complicated, but just a careful choice of the required ingredients will do the job for you. All you need are some basil, fresh mozzarella balls, olives, plum tomatoes, a little bit of oil, & salt and pepper to taste.
Keep the basil as a base and put a slice of plum tomato upon it! Then place two fresh mozzarella balls as eyes and to complete, use a couple of tiny round olive pieces. Now, you may place a small black olive disk on either of the two eyes to indicate the pupils. And you’re all set! Your spooky salad for the Halloween lunch is ready! You can also use our Dwarka Organic chat masala as a sprinkler over the salad for a tad bit of Indian flavor.
Halloween Stuffed Bell peppers
Bell peppers come in bright colors, and they are some of the best options for theme food in a Halloween celebration. All you need to do is get hold of bell peppers in various colors and chop off the top portions to access the insides. Once you churn out the interior thoroughly, use a knife to carve spooky Halloween faces on the bell peppers. You can use fried rice or spiced potatoes to fill in the bell peppers.
To stuff in the bell peppers, you must put your choice of filling piping hot into them up to the brim. Then you can place the chopped tops of the bell peppers back in place. These bring a ghastly natural look to your Halloween dinner table.
Pumpkin Chocolate Muffins
Muffins are a specialty for children during Halloween. Any new addition to the décor or taste of muffins or cupcakes intrigues children like anything. As much as they love sweet stuff like this, they possess immense dislike towards veggies like pumpkin and tend to run away from it.
These muffins come with a unique Halloween twist as they contain all the bakery ingredients necessary, such as maida, sugar, etc. The twist here is the addition of a pureed version of pumpkin. It will make the kids utterly unaware of the contents of their favorite chocolate muffins.
Halloween Lasagna
If you’re wondering whether we skipped out on the main course, well, here’s a creepy Halloween meal for adults as well as children! Lasagnas usually look mouthwatering and seldom would anyone get spooked by looking at this beautiful dish! But it’s Halloween, and it should be a prime focus to make our guests feel eerie at the glimpse of the feast table.
Therefore, the Halloween Lasagna is the perfect main course to fulfill this objective. After your lasagna is ready, you can use a sauce to outline a face on the bowl of lasagna. Then, you may utilize the availability of olives and zucchini pieces to make the eyes and teeth. You will undoubtedly feel scared looking at the carved-out voodoo doll-like figures on your bowl of lasagna. Now go ahead and watch your guests freak out by looking at your spooky dish!
Witches’ Fingers
The most famous and commonly-made Halloween cookies around the world are the Witches’ Fingers! All you need is common baking ingredients like sugar, maida, baking powder, etc., alongside some blanched almonds and strawberry jam for the realistic spooky decoration.
Once your dough is ready to be shaped, cut it into pieces and roll them up. After that, gently press the sides of the dough to form finger knuckles and use a sharp object to carve wrinkles. Now comes the role of the blanched almonds, which you can press down on the tip of your finger-shaped dough to display nails. Place the fingers on a baking sheet and bake. Let them cool down entirely on the sheet. Finally, add the strawberry jam for that bloody visual on your scary witches’ fingers dish.
As Halloween approaches, people worldwide are excited about the vibrant décor, happiness, fun, and food. There is a variance of exquisite Halloween meals that might funnily activate your sensation of fear. You can try making these dishes mentioned above with organic ingredients and make your Halloween feasts even more special.
