Pork Rolls-Flamenquines


I made these Pork Rolls a few days ago. They are usually served as a meat starter in Spanish meals; but, I think they are just great as appetizers and make a wonderful party food. Try it!


Recipe adapted from Traditional Spanish Cooking by Janet Mendel

    I know this is something my guests would love. Question though..what is the orange bit in the middle. I see melted white cheese, is this cheddar not quite melted?

    @Ravenous Couple: I served them with a spicy tomato sauce that is meant for deep fried potatoes. (Patatas Bravas). I will post the recipe soon.

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
