Cucumber Under Wraps Recipes

CUCUMBER AND CREAM CHEESE SANDWICH ROLLS (WITH LAVASH BREAD)

Steps:

• Peel and thinly slice the cucumber.
• Lay a piece of lavash bread on your workspace and spread some cream cheese evenly (as shown in the picture) leaving one of the short ends with some empty space.
• Next, layer the cucumber slices over the cream cheese.
• Begin rolling the bread by the short end, but not the end with the space. Roll it tightly, not allowing any air gaps to form.
• Cut the cucumber and cream cheese sandwich roll with a sharp serrated knife (wipe with a damp paper towel between cuts) into four equal pieces. Secure with a long sandwich pick.
• Serve the cucumber pinwheels immediately for best results, or refrigerate, for just a few hours.

CUCUMBER ROLLS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, smoked salmon, dill, garlic powder, and black pepper.
• Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, peel the cucumbers lengthwise into thin slices. Discard the outer peel.
• Pat the peeled cucumber slices with paper towels to absorb any excess moisture.
• Spread a small spoonful of filling over a cucumber slice.
• Starting from one end, tightly roll the cucumber into a spiral. Repeat with remaining cucumber slices and filling.
• Enjoy!

CUCUMBER CREAM CHEESE WRAPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Chop dill and green onion finely. Mix with the softened cream cheese, salt, and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Peel the cucumbers. Cut into very thin slices (Note). Pat the pieces a bit dry with kitchen paper (especially if using an English cucumber).
• Spread cream cheese on the tortillas. Cover with cucumbers, overlapping them a little to make them fit.
• Roll up tightly. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
• Remove the plastic wrap. Use as many toothpicks or wooden picks as needed to secure the roll-ups; it depends on the desired thickness of the pieces. I cut 7 pieces out of each tortilla, so I had 21 in the end. Use a serrated knife to slice the roll between the picks.
• Arrange on a platter and garnish with a few fresh dill sprigs (optional).

LAMB AND CUCUMBER WRAPS
