cucumbers, wrapped

August 28, 2013 • Nancy Wolfson-Moche

It was a busy morning. A school day in August! I had lots of cucumbers. I had lots of carrots. I had a new carrot peeler, so I peeled the carrot and sliced the cucumber and married the two. It would make a great diy snack for kids. My kids were so keen on doing it themselves that they took them apart and re-wrapped them.

INgredients

1 medium-large cucumber

1 large carrot

2-3 teaspoons Eden sesame-sea vegetable shake

2 teaspoons umeboshi plum paste

Process

Wash the cucumber and carrot well.  Slice the cucumber into thick half-inch rounds, leaving the skin on.

Peel the carrot so the peel is thick and ribbony.

Gently, wrap the carrot ribbons around the cucumber skin, using a small amount of water to make the end of the peel adhere to the already-wrapped peel.

Top with a half teaspoon dollop of umeboshi plum paste

or a sprinkle (about a half teaspoon) of the sesame-sea vegetable shake.

You could also top with a dollop of yogurt or a creamy cheese.

Icing on the Cake: Testimonials

I’m very impressed by all the elements you are able to pack into the lesson without it seeming at all overwhelming: the review, the actual cooking skills, the creativity of coming up with their own dishes, the chance to present their creations, the opportunity to learn about and share thoughts on something else (in last week’s case, the feelings represented in the book), the execution of their  jobs, the responsibility for one’s station/implements and the overall following of directions…..all without losing the fun quotient. No wonder the kids love coming!  You’ve really created something special so kudos to you!
