Sausage Flowers
Description
You can use not only sausage but also ham to make these little flowers. The main thing is that it can be sliced as thinly as possible. If you can, ask to have the sausage sliced at the supermarket. But if that is not an option, take a long, very sharp knife and get started—you will manage. Then read my detailed photo recipe. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
