Interesting Appetizers
Description
A tasty appetizer for any gathering. Before serving, I recommend keeping the appetizer in the refrigerator for a while. But don't leave it too long, or the dish may leak a bit and lose its appetizing appearance. I like to serve this appetizer on a buffet table. A second version of this appetizer: replace some of the cabbage with grated mozzarella—it will be very tasty too. Serve with herbs and sauce.
