Attractive and delicious! And so quick to make: a great addition to anyone’s recipe collection. These would be such fantastic appetisers, and I can well imagine them being snaffled fast! I look forward to serving them that way in the future! On this occasion, however, I was making something for myself for a rather exotic solo dinner (!) so I halved the recipe and this became a fabulously simple-to-make and scrumptious dinner for one! I don’t care for gherkin, so I used very thinly sliced Lebanese cucumber. I used creamy Greek yoghurt, and I added one grind of black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon of lemon zest. When serving for everyday purposes, this would be equally delicious served in lettuce cups or on a bed of baby spinach leaves. Just wonderful! I did sneak just a small portion of the filling to my Burmese cat. For him this was yum-yum-yum food. Those with cats will know what I’m talking about: a feline expression of joy while eating! Thank you, sarahsmomi, for a fabulous recipe!
