CUCUMBER TAPENADE CANAPES



Cucumber Tapenade Canapes image

Categories     Olive     Pepper     No-Cook     Cocktail Party     Quick & Easy     New Year's Eve     Cucumber     Gourmet

Yield Makes 16 canap;és

Number Of Ingredients 4

sixteen 1/4-inch-thick slices of seedless cucumber
8 teaspoons tapenade, olivada, or other black olive paste (available at specialty foods shops and some supermarkets)
32 julienne strips of drained bottled roasted red pepper, each about 1 inch long
16 flat-leafed parsley leaves

Steps:

  • In the center of each cucumber slice put 1/2 teaspoon of the tapenade, drape 2 of the pepper strips in an X over it, and garnish each canapé with a parsley leaf. The canapés may be made 30 minutes in advance and kept covered and chilled.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers: English or Persian cucumbers are best for canapés because they have a thin skin and small seeds.
  • Cut the cucumbers evenly: Use a sharp knife to cut the cucumbers into uniform slices or rounds. This will help them cook evenly and look more appealing.
  • Don't overcook the cucumbers: Cucumbers should be cooked just until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Be creative with your fillings: You can use a variety of fillings for your cucumber canapés, such as cream cheese, hummus, guacamole, or tuna salad. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
  • Garnish your canapés: A simple garnish can make your cucumber canapés look more festive. Try using fresh herbs, such as dill or chives, or a sprinkle of paprika or chili powder.

Conclusion:

Mini herbed cucumber canapés are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With their fresh, crisp flavor and variety of fillings, they are sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give these cucumber canapés a try.
