Japaleno Macaroni and Cheese Dumplings
Description
Wonton wrappers one of my favorite low fat/carb options. Random leftovers have been a success into our wonton stuffing. To date, the tastiest is jalopeno mac and cheese.
- other favorite combos are:
1. Smashed pea & diced shrimp with white wine, alfredo sauce.
2. Chopped sausage, basil, mozzarello with red sauce.
3. Pumpkin/sweet potato, walnut, apple, cinnimon/pumpkin pie spice with marshmellow whipped cream sauce.
4. Chili spice, ground beef, kidney bean stuffed with cheddar cheese sauce.
5. Bourbon chicken cripy wonton and kidney bean ragout.
6. Caribbean curry roti stuffed with fruit chutney.
7. Crab/fish cake stuffed, drizzled with Erics remoulade sauce.
8. Raw thinkly sliced steak, mushroom reduction stuffed. Topped with micro greens and topped with crumbled or lightly shredded sharp cheese of choice.
