Sausage Flowers

Carolina allspice (calycanthus floridus) is a lovely thing, a compact and handsome shrub (growing to 2.5m in height and 3m spread), with glossy leaves and small, deep red, waxy flowers.

Ingredients | Carolina Allspice Flower

1 pound ground Italian sausage

½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

½ cup shredded Colby cheese

1 cup salsa

24 (3.5 inch square) wonton wrappers

¾ (16 ounce) container sour cream

1 bunch green onions, chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a miniature muffin pan.

Place ground Italian sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain and remove from heat.

Stir Monterey Jack cheese and Colby cheese into the warm sausage to melt. Stir in salsa.

Gently press wonton wrappers into the prepared miniature muffin pan so that the edges are extending. Place a heaping tablespoon of the sausage mixture into each wonton wrapper.

Bake 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until wonton edges begin to brown.

Transfer baked filled wontons to a serving platter. Dollop each with approximately 1 tablespoon sour cream. Sprinkle with green onions.
