“Twigs” in a Blanket
Inspired by the classic “Pigs in a Blanket” recipe and my mothers Asparagus Cigars: These little nuggets consist of grilled thin asparagus, salted, wrapped in Pillsbury dough, coated with an egg wash, topped with black sesame seeds, and baked in the oven for 12 minutes. A dipping sauce on the side: a bit of mayonnaise, soy sauce, honey, and garlic powder (most compliments came from the sauce alone!). I’m proud to have provided these as a lovely appetizer for a vegetarian Christmas.
