Recipe Perfect Cucumber Sandwiches

Ingredients :

• 1/2 a very fresh cucumber
• sea salt flakes
• best butter
• 4 slices good quality white bread
• white pepper

Method :

1. Thinly peel the cucumber.
2. Slice the cucumber thinly, place in a colander or sieve and sprinkle with salt.
3. Thickly butter the bread, I started off with frozen slices so that I could easily spread it with cold butter, and get it good and thick. By the time I"d finished the sandwiches the bread had defrosted.
4. Lay the salted cucumber on kitchen paper and pat gently to remove excess water.
5. Arrange the cucumber on the bread and sprinkle with a little extra salt for crunch, together with a light sprinkling of white pepper, use black if you don"t have any but white is traditional.
6. You"re meant to cut the crusts off, and I did this for the photograph, but otherwise I"d leave them on. Serve straight away.
