Face Up! Cucumber And Prosciutto Tartine
The food we should all be eating is healthyish! That's right, you don't need to subside on kale and brown rice forever to enjoy optimal body function. Recipe developer Lindsay Maitland Hunt's new book is a testament and guide to this phenomenal way of living. Kick things off with a cucumber and prosciutto tartine that will satisfy and delight you.
Have you ever had a butter and cucumber English tea sandwich? Those ones with the crusts cut off, that sound like they'd be gross, but are actually delicious. Here, I add a lemony herb butter for bright, complex flavor and a slice of prosciutto for richness (and elegance) — altogether a deeply satisfying midday meal.
