Cut cucumbers into 1 1/2 – 2 in circles and hull out the center, but do not go all the way through to the bottom of the cucumber. Place discs on a tray. Discard seeds and peels.(great for compost).

  1. Place garlic, onions, and cooled roasted pepper (scrape off black skin if applies) in a blender and puree it.

Then add the cream cheese to the mixture and blend until mixture is a paste- if Paste is runny … place in refrigerator and allow it to set up for about 30 min or if you have more cream cheese you may add more to it.

  1. Use a pipping bag, a baggie with a hope cut out in the corner or you can spoon it into the cucumbers-
  2. Add 1 olive to the center of each cream stuffed cucumber- and allow to chill for 15 min before serving.

You may add other garnishes to your cucumbers such as Fresh basil, Rosemary, Roasted garlic, capers, roasted red peppers, and for those who are NOT Vegan or Vegetarian you can add shrimp, crab, ham, salami or any number of things.
