Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Making the cream: In the blender jug, add the cream cheese together with the anchovies (you can drain off some of the oil beforehand). Add a pinch of Bonsalt 0% and pepper to taste. Blend everything until smooth and creamy.

2. Resting: Transfer the mixture to a piping bag with a ridged nozzle and let it rest for a few minutes in the refrigerator so it firms up.

3. Cucumber base: Wash the cucumbers well. You can peel them completely, leave strips of skin with a peeler so they look more attractive, or leave the skin on if it is thin. Cut the cucumber into slices of about one centimeter.

4. Assembly: Place a rosette of the cream cheese and anchovy mixture on each cucumber slice using the piping bag.

5. Decoration: Finish each canapé by placing a caper on top. Serve immediately to keep the cucumber crisp.
