Notes
- Fillings are optional and you can put in whatever your heart desires.
- In my rings above, I filled my savoury rings with a broccolini/onion/garlic mixture which I water-sauteed and sprinkled with tamari and sesame seeds
- The sweet rings were filled with a pear-cranberry compote that I made when I had too many ripe pears
