Tabbouleh-Style Rice Cucumber Rounds
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 6 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) finely grated Asiago cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1/4 cup finely chopped bottled roasted red bell peppers
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
- 3 tablespoons drained capers
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 32 (1/4-inch-thick) English cucumber slices (about 1 cucumber)
- Combine first 12 ingredients; toss gently. Spoon 1 rounded tablespoon rice mixture onto each cucumber slice.
- A handheld grater is an ideal kitchen tool when you need to create finely grated bits that distribute flavor throughout a dish. Use it to grate the rind from fresh citrus or hard cheese, such as the well-aged Asiago and lemon we used in this recipe.
