LEMON CUCUMBER TEA SANDWICHES WITH MINTY MAYONNAISE (OR HUMMUS)

Lemon Cucumber Tea Sandwiches With Minty Mayonnaise (Or Hummus) image

I replaced standard cucumbers with lemon cucumbers from our garden! Adapted from ichef.com with a nod and hat doff to another site (grouprecipes.com) for the hummus idea. If you dislike mint, try another fresh herb: basil is always an excellent choice, lovage, salad burnet or good ol' parsley. For a more substantial meal, add greens-arugula, baby spinach, loose leaf lettuce; perhaps some finely minced shallots, heirloom toms, ad infinitum...

Time 20m

Yield 16 tea sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
1/2 cup sunflower oil
salt, to taste
cracked black pepper or white pepper, to taste
8 thin slices homemade wheat bread, your choice to remove crusts (ok to substitute white or multi grain bread-we used a 9-grain bread with sunflower seeds)
3 lemon cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced (approximately)
greens, washed and dried (optional)

Steps:

Note: If you have concerns about the raw egg yolk, use a good quality store bought mayonnaise or substitute cream cheese (softened). For a vegan version, replace the mayonnaise with hummus or a mayo' substitute: Recipe #754 for example.
Minty Mayonnaise: in a blender or food processor, combine the egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice, and mint.
With motor running, add the oil in a slow steady stream and blend until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl.
Tea Sandwiches: Spread each slice of bread generously on one side with the mayonnaise.
On half the slices, arrange an even layer of lemon cucumber slices. Top with remaining bread slices.
Cut each sandwich into quarters before serving.

Here are some tips for making Lemon Tea Sandwiches with Minty Mayonnaise or Lemon Sandwiches with Minty Mayonnaise:

Use fresh lemons for the best flavour.
Grate the zest from the lemons before juicing them, to get the most flavour and aroma.
If you don't have a citrus zester, use a fine grater. Just be careful not to zest the white pith, as this will be bitter.
Be sure to use softened butter, as this will be easier to mix with the other ingredients.
Add a pinch of salt to the minty mayonnaise to help balance out the sweetness of the sandwiches.
If you're using hummus instead of mayonnaise, be sure to choose a hummus that has a smooth, creamy texture.
Use fresh herbs, such as chives, dill, or parsley, to garnish the sandwiches before serving.
