The Amazing Anything Canape

The Amazing anything canape. Pictured here with Duck, but you can use pretty much any protein.  Add a leaf of coriander and a slice of chilli to create these drop-dead gorgeous simple canapes. (Our 'Hot' Jenny's Kitchen Tamarind Chutney worked well with the richness of the duck.)

You will need:

• ½ a cooked BBQ Duck* (available from Asian stores or restaurants)
• *OR substitute protein eg a cooked duck breast, OR cooked pork OR cooked chicken
•   OR smoked salmon OR rare cooked beef OR cooked prawns. Anything!!
• 1 skinny Telegraph cucumber (or 2-3 smaller Lebanese cucumber)
• 2 Tablespoons Jenny’s Kitchen Tamarind Chutney
• 1 bunch of fresh coriander
• 1 large fresh red chilli

To prepare your Canapes:

Shred the flesh of the BBQ Duck (or substitute). Take care to remove any fat and bones. (If using BBQ duck, these can be simmered to create a fragrant stock for an Asian style soup.)

Mix the duck meat with the Jenny’s Kitchen Tamarind Chutney.

Slice your cucumber into approximately 7mm rounds. Place a coriander leaf on each, ensure each leaf extends past the edge of the cucumber so it can be seen once the meat is placed on top. Spoon a teaspoonful of the duck and tamarind mixture onto the centre of each, and top with a fine slice of chilli.

Refrigerate until ready to serve. Makes 40-60 small bites (depending on the diameter of the cucumber).
