BBQ Pork Wontons

As promised, this is my recipe for one of my husband's favorite dishes, BBQ Pork Wontons.
Ingredients:
4-5 large fresh brussel sprouts
3-4 baby carrots or half a regular carrot, peeled
1-2 oz leftover pork (roast, chops, or loin)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 Cup BBQ sauce
12 wonton wrappers
We love roasted FRESH brussel sprouts, so I always have some in the crisper. I'm not sure this recipe would work very well with the frozen kind. Cabbage would be a suitable substitution.
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit. 
2. Cut the base stalk off each brussel sprout.
3. Place sprouts and carrots in a clean blender, and use chop setting for a few seconds. Scrape sides and pulse blender to chop everything uniformly.
It should look like this - 
4. Dump chopped veggies in a medium bowl. Be sure to scrape the jar really well.
5. Place chunked meat in blender, and chop for a few seconds in the same way as the veggies, then dump meat in the bowl. 


6. Pour worchestershire and BBQ sauce in, and stir until mixed well. 
7. Lightly oil the insides of a 12 count muffin tin, and place a wonton wrapper in each cup.
8. Spoon a heaping tbsp Of mixture into each wrapper.

9. Now here's the fun part! Wet the tip of your fingers and dab each of the 4 corners of the wonton wrapper. Quickly press the opposite corner together and hold for 2 seconds, repeat with other 2 corners to form the wonton. 
10. Once all wontons are sealed use a brush to lighly oil the top sides of each one.
11. Bake on middle rack 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

That's it! Eat alone or dip in BBQ sauce. These would be great as an appetizer or party food for game day. Enjoy!
