A raw, bite size canapé with a party of flavours that fuse together beautifully

 

Base

1 cucumber sliced on an angle

(Alternatively you can use field mushrooms with the bottom removed and fill them with the Chilli Salsa – you can even bake them or grill them slightly on the BBQ!)

 

Chilli Salsa Top

1 medium red chilli, chopped finely

1 large tomato

½ cup of parsley

½ cup of basil

1 pinch Himalayan salt

2 tbs spoons of olive oil or grape seed oil

½ lemon, squeezed

1 clove of garlic, chopped finely

6 crushed walnuts

 

 

Method

Slice your cucumber on an angle to give you the largest pieces possible.

Combine all food ingredients in a large mixing bowl, add the olive oil last and mix some more.

Spoon onto the cucumber slices / or fill the mushroom.

Garnish with grated lemon rind.

 

 

StellaTip: If you are opting for grilled or baked field mushrooms you may like to make an entrée of the Chilli Muse Bites.

Et voila! A delicious, nourishing canapé for the festive season.
