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!

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?
ReplyDeletethese look amazing little tapas! would you think any dipping sauce necessary?
ReplyDeleteHi Lori, the orange bit is in fact cheddar cheese.
ReplyDelete@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.
ReplyDeleteThe toothpicks look awesome, where did you get them Angie? Are they reusable?
ReplyDeleteHey Quinn, those toothpicks are available at most local grocers over here in Vancouver.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! It looks like such a great party food.
ReplyDeleteHi Angie, this is a great party food :) thanks for sharing this. What kind of olive oil do you use for deep frying?
ReplyDeleteHi Elin, I used regular Olive Oil. You can use Canola oil too.
