Spooky Stuffed Cucumber Coffins
Ingredients:
- Large cucumbers (firm and fresh)
- 1/2 cup quinoa (cooked and cooled)
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/4 cup cucumber flesh, finely diced (from the scooped-out cucumbers)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegan mozzarella cheese slices (cut into thin strips for the mummy effect)
- Black olives (sliced for eyes)
Instructions:
Prepare the cucumbers:
- Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds to create a hollow center, leaving the edges intact. Slice the bottom slightly if needed, so they stay flat.
Make the filling:
- Combine the cooked quinoa, shredded carrots, diced red bell pepper, and the diced cucumber flesh in a bowl. Add the lemon juice, and Dijon mustard, mixing well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stuff the coffins:
- Spoon the quinoa filling into the hollowed cucumbers, pressing down lightly to pack the filling.
Add the mummy wraps:
- Lay the thin strips of vegan mozzarella cheese across the top of each cucumber, overlapping them slightly to mimic mummy wraps.
Create the eyes:
- Place two small black olive slices near the top of each cucumber to serve as the eyes.
Chill and serve:
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set slightly.
