Ingredients

  • 0.25 kg Bread, whole grain

  • 100 g Sweet potato, unpeeled, fresh

  • 100 g Tomato, red

  • 20 dag Fish, lobster, fresh

  • 100 g Cheese, creamy

  • 1 piece Lemon, fresh, without shell

  • 1 twig Dill, fresh

Steps

  1. Wash and dry the cucumber, lemon, and tomato. Cut the cucumber in half and slice it into thin, almost translucent rounds. Dice the tomato into very small cubes. Cut the lemon in half and slice it into thin translucent rounds, then cut those into eighths.

  2. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Submerge the shrimp in the boiling water for two minutes, then drain and cool them with cold water.

  3. Slice the bread into thinner pieces and use a glass or cutter to cut out circles from the slices. Toast the circles in the oven or a toaster for a minute until they turn golden brown and crispy.

  4. Spread the center of the bread circles with cheese spread. Place three cucumber slices on top of the spread, then arrange the shrimp tails on the cucumber slices so the canapé is stable. For the finishing touch, place a small tomato cube, a thin slice of lemon, and a sprig of dill on top of the shrimp tails.

  5. Finally, drizzle the canapés with lemon juice.

Advice

To save time shaping round toasts, you can use store-bought crackers or even fresh bread. Instead of cheese spread, you can use ricotta.
