Directions
- [We made these, and they turned out just fine.
- They're really an appetizer or part of a varied buffet - don't try to use them as the entire meal! They're too strongly flavored for that, and you'll be sick of them by the time you've had 6 or 10.
- Definitely save this for when you're entertaining, not just deciding what's for dinner tonight.]
