Cream Cheese, Cucumber and Candied Walnut Rolls

Print

INGREDIENTS:

Cream Cheese, Cucumber and Candied Walnut Rolls:
6 cups (3 pounds) Real California Cream Cheese
Twenty-four whole-wheat lavash
12 cups (about 6 pounds) peeled and sliced cucumber
4 1/2 cups coarsely chopped Candied Walnuts (recipe follows)
Candied Walnuts:
3 cups walnut halves
1/3 cup water
3/4 cup granulated sugar
Kosher salt or finely ground fleur de sel, optional

PER ORDER:

Yield: 24 roll up sandwiches

DIRECTIONS:

Roll Up Sandwich Directions
Prep time: 10 minutes
For each roll, spread 1/4 cup of cream cheese on the lavash, top with 1/2 cup of the cucumber slices, and sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of the candied walnuts. Roll up and slice in half on the diagonal.

Candied Walnuts Directions
Prep time: 20 minutes
Preheat the oven to 350˚F.

Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden brown, about 8 minutes.

Line another baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat.

Put the water in a large saucepan and sprinkle the sugar evenly over the top. Heat until there are bubbles across the top of the surface of the sugar, about 4 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the nuts, coating them in the melted sugar. If the sugar has crystallized, return the pan to the heat and stir continuously until the sugar has melted again (removing the pan from the heat as needed if the nuts begin to brown too quickly).

Spread the nuts on the baking mat and sprinkle with the salt, if using. Separate the nuts with forks and let cool completely.

Yield: 3 1/2 cups
