Does anyone have any favorite Italian appetizer recipes you would like to share?I would really like a good recipe to pair the wine with. It could be as varied as Chianti to Barolo or Verdicchio to Pino Grigio.

If you can figure this out they are really good appetizers. Typically from Lazio and go great with wine.

Stuffed Mushroom Recipe
Ingredients
Baby Mushrooms 12
Hot Italian Sausage 1 pound
Long Green Onions (finely chopped) 1 bunch
Garlic (chopped) 1 clove
Olive Oil 2 tablespoons
Prosciutto (finely chopped) 4 slices
Plum Tomatoes 3
Seasoned Bread Crumbs ¼ cup
Parmesan Cheese (grated) ¼ cup
Mozzarella Cheese (shredded) ¼ cup
Salt and Pepper to taste
Method
Carefully remove the stem from the mushrooms and chop fine.
Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Sauté stems, onions, garlic and prosciutto for about a minute with the remaining oil.
Add sausage and cook as you break the sausage into little pieces.
Drain the mixture and let it cool.
Now stir in tomatoes, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper.
Stuff the mushrooms with the mixture and top it with mozzarella cheese.
Place the mushrooms on a baking sheet and broil for about 5 minutes, but be careful you do not burn the tops.
