Sumbitted by Sinai Sampson-Hill

Adapted from The Mediterranean Dish

I have this recipe saved to my food board on Pinterest. Instead of traditional cocktail sauce, this recipe calls for roasted garlic ciltanro sauce. If you are not a fan of cilantro, you can add something like dill or parsley, instead (according to the website this recipe was adapted from). You can eat this tapas style or as a dinner with grains and vegetables. Serves 4.
