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.
