Cuernitos Menonitas (Mennonite "little Horns")

""For most Mexicans, the Mennonites are tall, light-skinned people, dressed in overalls, who produce their famous cheese... Every family has at least one cow that produces the milk, cream and butter for daily use, as well as chickens for meat and eggs. Pigs are primarily raised for home-cured hams, cold cuts and bacon. The homemade garlic beef sausage has become popular in the [Chihuahua] region, where people know that the Mennonite products are made from all local ingredients, using traditional methods."

  1. These little guys are delicious! They are perfect for after school snack for my kiddos when they come home hungry but not yet ready for dinner. Also good the next day if you just warm it up for 15 seconds in the microwave! Keeping these as a fave!
     
  2. I didn't use mennonite salami or cheese, so I don't feel like I can completely be true to rate this recipe. I used regular sliced hard salami and cheddar/jack cheese. I tried to get closer to the garlic salami by using garlic crescent rolls, but it just added a weird flavor. I think this would be better by using the original recipe, or skipping the salami and using ham instead. Made and reviewed for ZWT5-RRR.
