Cucumber Sandwiches

1. 1

   Peel the cucumber, cut in half lengthways, and slice crossways as thinly as possible.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine the butter and orange zest and stir until the mixture is creamy and the ingredients are well-blended.

3. 3

   Spread each slice of white bread with the butter mixture, arrange several slices of cucumber on each slice and top with the whole-wheat bread, and cut each sandwich into 4 triangles.

4. 4

   To serve: Arrange the sandwiches on a platter, alternating white and brown sides of the sandwiches and garnish with mint sprigs and orange slices.

5. 5

   On cucumbers: Of course traditionally the cucumber is peeled, but to modern tastes, many cucumbers available - such as Lebanese or continental, just those names alone would be enough to have Lady Bracknell turning in her grave! - really don't need peeling.
