Mediterranean Jalapeño Poppers
Kalamata olives + fetta cheese + mint leaves = a traditional, tasty combination. Add a little pork and stuff it into jalapeño halves and you’ve just taken this bar food up a notch! And if you prefer more heat, instead of discarding the jalapeño seeds, simply fold them into the cheese mixture.
