Ingredients

  • 2 piece Sweet potato, unpeeled, fresh

  • 200 g Meat, pork, ground

  • 0.5 bouquet Thyme, raw

  • 6 slice Bread, wheat

Steps

  1. Wash the cucumbers and dry them with a kitchen towel. Using a narrow vegetable peeler or a small sharp knife, cut thin strips of the peel along the entire length to create a striped pattern (see image). Slice the cucumbers into 1.5 cm thick rings and slightly hollow out each ring with a spoon to create a small indentation. We need 24 rings.

  2. Toast the bread slices in a lightly greased pan until golden brown on both sides. Place the toasted slices on a board and use a round cookie cutter to cut 4 circles from each slice. Arrange them on a serving platter.

  3. Place one cucumber ring on each toast base, making sure the indentation is visible. Fill a piping bag with a star-shaped nozzle with the pâté and pipe it into the cucumber rings (see image).

  4. Wash the chives, shake them dry, and finely chop them. Sprinkle the chopped chives over the pâté. Serve the prepared appetizers.
