These are not only delicious but look wonderful on the serving platter. They got rave reviews on the September long weekend as well as Thanksgiving. Other then using the olive oil on hand I made as posted - yes lovely, tasty and delicate. The only way these could be improved upon ... is enjoying them at one of your parties! Thank you Marg - love those recipes of yours.

simply delicious marg, I did do a few adjustments to the recipe, I increased the garlic and added in a litle cayenne pepper, I used Greek olive oil as that is the only kind I use, I actaully made the filling well in advance to blend the flavors, I am thinking how this would be using chicken??? thanks for this great recipe I will repeat again for the holidays!...Kitten:)
