Greek Spanakopita
This Greek spanakopita recipe for spinach and feta appetizer triangles came from a Greek family friend. These delicious savory treats can be made ahead of time and frozen before baking to golden and crisp.
Cacio e Pepe Taralli (Savory Italian Pretzels)
Often served with (and dipped in!) white wine, taralli are a fun and versatile Italian snack you can flavor all sorts of ways. This pepper and cheese variety starts with a simple unleavened dough starring white wine and olive oil. Rolled into ropes, then into rings, they're boiled and sprinkled with cheese before baking. Once baked, the cheese forms a crispy wafer in the middle of the ring!
Ukrainian Beet Green "Cabbage" Rolls
Use beet greens to make "cabbage" rolls. My mother used to make these and always served them with cream sauce instead of tomato sauce. They're fast and easy to make since, unlike cabbage leaves, beet greens don't need to be cooked first. Serve with rice or noodles.
