Here's a little finger food that's an alternative to veggies & dip. I got the recipe from a magazine at the doctor's office. It makes a cute appetizer that should appeal to kid's because of the simple flavors. You can, however, use a thick, flavoured dip for more adult tastes. Ingredients:
1 english cucumber |
1 carrot, peeled & shredded |
1/2 cup cream cheese |
1/4 cup golden raisin |
fresh chives (cut into 24 lengths slightly longer than each piece of cucumber) |
Directions:
1. Peel the cucumber on 2 sides. Using a peeler, cut the cucumber in 8 lengthwise slices, each about 1/8 thick. The peel should border the long sides of the slices (it makes for an appealing contrast).
2. Cut each length into 3 pieces.
3. Put a small amount of grated carrot at the short end of each cucumber piece. Top with a small spoonful of cream cheese and press in a few raisins.
4. Carefully roll up the cucumber making sure the filling stays inside.
5. Tie each roll with chives (or alternately just put a toothpick through each piece to hold together).
