#6 Christmas Candles Appetizer
Ingredients:
1 large courgette (approx 200g), straight if possible
45g vegan cream cheese (eg Swedish Soft or Tofutti)
2 artichoke hearts (in brine) drained & chopped
2 sun dried tomatoes, drained of oil and chopped
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp chives, finely chopped
Directions:
Peel 12 or 14 vertical strips of courgette using a potato peeler (preferably a swivel type one).
Bring a large pan of water to the boil, blanch the courgette for 30 seconds and then refresh under cold water.
Put the cream cheese, artichokes, tomatoes and lemon juice into a food processor and blend until smooth, then add the chives.
Lay the courgette strips flat and spread a tsp of the pate on top. Then roll up gently and stand upright. Garnish with extra chives and thin strips of sun dried tomatoes.
