Cucumber Roll-ups with a Pea/Mint Filling

Cucumber Roll ups

 

Finger food is good on a picnic so here are some tiny roll-ups with a great minty taste. Here I have used two things that are bountiful in our early summer garden – mint and fresh peas!

To make the cucumber roll-ups you need 1-2 pieces of thinly peeled cucumber per person. To cut the cucumber really thin use a sharp veggie peeler and run it along the full length of the cucumber until you have good 1 to 1 ½ inch slices – put these aside.

The Pea/Mint Stuffing

makes 2 cups

Put the following in your food processor and process until chunky:

  • the cucumber end and pieces that are too small (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 cup pecans (that have been soaked for 1/2 hour then drained)
  • 5-10 large mint leaves (more if you love mint)
  • 1/4 cup of each chopped: celery & onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Put this into a bowl then fold in ¼ cup fresh peas or corn cut off the cob

Lay out the cucumber slices and cut into 3-5 inch lengths

Put a spoonful of stuffing on each piece and roll up tightly – then put them in a container and add more stuffing until they look like the picture.

Keep cool until ready to serve – they keep well overnight.
