Notes

  • Meat Rose Instructions:
  • Using a small bowl or cup and a thin sliced meat like salami (the smaller the diameter of the cup, the smaller the rosette),
  • take a slice of the meat and bend it around the top of that cup in half. Go around the diameter and overlap the slices of meat. Circle around the cup a few times until the center nearly disappears. 
  • Flip it over and remove the meat and voila! You have a meat rose.
