Cucumber and Carrot Garnishes

To make the cucumber garnish, cut the cucumber into a 7.5cm/3in strip, 2cm/ %in wide. Make 5 even cuts along the strip, 12mm/1/2in in from one end. Curl the second and fourth strips towards the base to form an open loop. The same cucumber strip can be spread out to form an attractive fan shape.

To make the carrot garnish, peel the carrot and cut into 6mm/1/dn slices. Trim the slices into rectangles, 2cm/3/iin X 7.5cm/ 3in. Make a 6mm/1/iin cut along one edge of the carrot so that the strip is still joined. Make a second cut in the other direction, again so that the strip is

joined. Bend the two ends together so that they cross over. This garnish can also be fashioned with giant white radish, cucumber and lemon peel.
