Canapés with mortadella mousse

Tartine con spuma di mortadella

Our original home cooking
Mortadella mousse is a traditional recipe of Bologna and Emilia-Romagna. So if you go to Bologna you can find mortadella mousse in a lot of menu cards as a starter. One day Carlo and I wanted to make unusual canapés, so we prepared mortadella mousse and spread it on sliced bread. It was a successful idea. Now we can show you a new recipe for your appetizers. Below useful links to quoted recipes too.

- - I suggest you these canapes for a meal, buffet-style too.

What's the right wine for " Canapés with mortadella mousse "?
Match Lambrusco di Sorbara (red wine of Emilia-Romagna - Italy) with these canapés as Carlo and I made that evening. We knew our guests liked this wine very much and so we decided the menu to match their favorite wine. You can also plan a good menu around the wine and not vice versa ;)))
