Equipment

  • 1 rolling pin
  • 1 toothpick

Instructions

  1. Place tuna in a bowl, along with the cream cheese. Whiz with a hand blender until smooth and combined.
  2. Cut cherry tomatoes in half, and then deseed them using a small spoon. If the seeds are not easily coming out, use a small sharp knife to ease them out.
  3. Cut crust from bread, and flatten with a rolling pin. Cut into small triangles for the sails. Put aside.
  4. Cut the cucumber in half. Cut one half into rounds for the boats to sit on. Take the skin of the other half cucumber and cut thin strips for the other sails.
  5. Assemble the boats by filling the tomatoes with the tuna mix. Pop a toothpick through the sails and stick them into the filled cherry tomato. Alternate the sails so that some are bread and some are cucumber.
  6. Place the boats with bread sails onto the cucumber rounds.
