Ground meat appetizer
Description
A tasty appetizer for any gathering. Making this ground-meat appetizer shaped into little yarn-ball bundles is no harder than making regular meatballs. The filling is prepared exactly the same way; the only difference is that the ground-meat balls are wrapped with thin strips of puff pastry. As you can see, minimum effort — and an original appetizer for both festive and everyday tables is ready! If you liked my recipe, the appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
