Recipe
Ingredients
- Hummus
- 3 cups cooked chickpeas
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- ¼ cup tahini
- ½ cup lemon juice
- 1 tbsp salt
- 2 cups water
-
- 1 carrot
- ½ beetroot
- 9 slices wholemeal bread, crusts removed
- 3 Lebanese cucumbers, very thinly sliced
- 28 long chives
- Edible viola flowers
Method
- To make hummus, place all ingredients except water in blender and puree. Slowly add water. Puree until smooth.
- Divide prepared hummus into 3 batches.
- To make carrot hummus, add carrot to blender and add one-third of hummus. Blend until hummus is smooth and orange. Place in container.
- For beetroot hummus, add beetroot to blender and add one-third of hummus. Blend until hummus is smooth and purple.
- To prepare triple layered sandwiches, lay out 3 bread slices and spread 1 slice with one of the colours of hummus. Next, place cucumber slices on top of each colour; these will be bottom layers of triple-layer sandwiches.
- Next, spread 3 more slices of bread with other coloured hummus. Choose a different colour from base colour and place on top of cucumber-covered slices.
- Then, final slices can be carefully placed on top and cut into four squares with knife.
- Wrap 1 long thin chive around each sandwich and tie at top with a little knot. Trim ends of chive to neaten then place an edible viola flower on top of each sandwich. Serve on china plate for indulgent high tea.
