Country Recipe of the Week : Veal and Chicken Polpettini

Country Recipe of the Week : Veal and Chicken Polpettini

In our district when a friend hosts an event, we all offer to pitch in and help. One of my favourite hors d'hoevres to take along are these Veal and Chicken Polpettini. This tried and true recipe has been served on the Liverpool Plains at too many cocktail parties to remember and not to mention placed on many family and friends tables. Jill Dupleix was ahead of her time in 1993 she published one of my favourite books called New Food. It is mouth wateringly delicious.
