Polish Sweet and Sour Pepper Rolls

Polish Sweet and Sour Pepper Rolls.
During my last trip to Warsaw, I had the chance to taste this delicious appetizer.
As soon as I got home, I wanted to replicate them.
Easy to make and very practical because you prepare them in advance and store them in the fridge, ready to be served, perhaps with a Russian salad. (for the Russian salad with cooked vegetables click here), (for the Russian salad with raw vegetables click here)
Ideal for when you want to prepare a buffet, excellent as an aperitif, they will give a fresh taste to your appetizers.
