If you’re looking for hors d'oeuvres that are easy to make, I’ll leave you with this delicious recipe that uses smoked pork as the main ingredient. This meat is not only flavorful, but it can be purchased pre-cooked in the supermarket, which makes any dish more practical and quick to prepare. I use wanton wrappers, but you can also prepare this recipe using spring roll shells or pastry. Years ago I discovered that if I stretch the wonton wraps using my pasta machine I am left with thinner and squarer dough; this makes prepping the rolls much easier. Plus, they come out crispy when served hot and fresh. I suggest using this recipe as a reference. Incorporate the vegetables you like most, such as celery, leeks, etc. to give the rolls a personal touch. Vary the sauces to your taste so that when you serve the rolls, you will have a banquet of different flavors that everyone will want to dip into and try. Sometimes I use chicken or shrimp in the filling, but if I want a recipe with smoked bacon, I go with lightly sautéed, smoked pork instead. However you choose to prepare them, these rolls are exquisite.
