Today on the menu is a simple and delicious appetizer - appetizing mini-buns filled with canned tuna, fresh cucumber, and cream cheese. This appetizing dish is very easy to prepare in a short time, because we will use ready-made puff pastry as a base. In my opinion, this is a great alternative to ordinary sandwiches, it turns out tender, tasty and satisfying. Crispy puff pastry goes perfectly with a delicate filling of canned tuna and cream cheese. Juicy cucumber gives the appetizer a fresh touch.

Tsvikli is a Ukrainian Easter snack made from beets and horseradish. It is traditionally served with meat dishes for Easter and Christmas. The spicy and aromatic snack perfectly complements the taste of homemade baked ham, sausage, aspic, baked duck or chicken. Tsvikli is quick and easy to prepare, you just need to prepare the beets in advance. Vegetables can be boiled until cooked or baked in foil in the oven. I like the latter option more, baked beets are more juicy and healthy. The spiciness of tsvikli can be adjusted to your taste by adding more or less hot horseradish.
