    The verrine is originally a French invention - a sweet or savory dish served in a small glass container so that the diner can enjoy the colors and textures of the food in different ways. You can make verrines for dessert, but you can also make savory variations such as appetizers, party food, or even part of dinner.

    Shrimp Kiwi and Pomegranate Verrines

    The really unique point here is the presentation. The name "verrine" originally referred to the small glasses that contained the food, which traditionally have very thick bottoms so they won't tip easily. But you can use just about any glass of the right size here, as long as it's not too tricky to get into with a fork.

    If you're serving these as an appetizer or a side, they would be nice with steak - kind of a surf and turf divided into two separate dishes. Or give them a shot with a favorite seafood dish.
