From a favorite magazine: DelciousLiving. Scapes are known in the US as 'garlic whistles'. Standard cucumbers or lemon cucumbers can be substituted for the English cucumber if you prefer. Very fresh, organic ingredients recommended! Ingredients:
2 teaspoons lemon zest |
1 bunch fresh garlic scapes or 1 small bunch fresh chives, finely chopped |
8 ounces fresh goat cheese (chevre) |
fresh ground black pepper |
2 medium english cucumbers, washed, unpeeled |
loose leaf red leaf lettuce or arugula |
lemon slice |
Directions:
1. Mix the lemon zest and herbs into the goat cheese.
2. Add a sprinkle of ground black pepper, to taste.
3. Allow mixture to rest 30 minutes, covered, so that cheese can absorb the flavors.
4. Slice the cucumbers into 1/8 disks.
5. Spread a bite-size portion of the cheese mixture between two slices of cucumber, making a mini-sandwich.
6. Serving suggestion: To serve, I placed the sandwiches on a platter with a bed of loose leaf red lettuce and a little bit of arugula. Garnish platter with lemon slices if desired.
7. Servings are estimated.
