Equipment
Ingredients
To Assemble the Canapes
- 8 Veggie Sheets
- 1 courgette
For the Macadamia Muhammara Paste (enough to fill at least 8 rolls)
- 1 clove garlic
- 60 g fire roasted red pepper about 1.
- 25 g semi dried tomatoes about 4
- 200 g macadamia nuts
- 30 ml lemon juice Juice ½ lemon
- fresh or dried chilli to taste
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
To Make the Paste
- Roast the macadamias in a single layer in the oven for about 10 mins (Gas Mark 5 / 200°C) -- Watch to make sure they do not burn!
- Pulse all the ingredients in a food processor until you have a thick paste. Add a little water or olive oil if necessary.
To Serve:
- With a mandolin or sharp knife, cut very fine long slices of courgette.
- Wet a veggie sheet (as per packet instructions) and lay the courgette slices over it. Trim if necessary so they do not overhang. Leave a strip on one side so you can seal the rolls.
- Put a ‘sausage’ of the Macadamia & Red Pepper paste on one side.
- Tightly roll up the sheet to form a long roll.
- Wet the edge and use that to seal the roll.
- With a very sharp knife, cut into 3cm pieces.
Notes
You don't need to include the courgette if you do not wish to. Just make the rolls up without it.
The macadamia muhummara will keep for up to a week in the fridge.
