Author Notes

This recipe comes from a stranger's picnic basket. I was at a concert about 15 years ago and we were having some wine listening to the municipal band play and next to me there were a group of friends sharing a few laughs and cheers; we all exchange food and the wine freely flowed, I remember the explosion of flavors in my mouth that within a week I was able to reproduced the explosive roll. I learn to cook by taste therefore a recipe was not required, this may even have a twist of its own from the original once shared... never saw him again... but the roll is a quick and delightful treat to share as in appetizer or in your picnic basket! —Zaid
