  • 15ml (1 tbsp) spring onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 piquanté peppers, finely chopped

Shred the chicken into bite-size pieces. Combine with the chopped apricot, chives, spring onion andpiquanté peppers. Gently fold in the cream cheese.

Season and add the paprika and chilli flakes if using.

Use a vegetable peeler and peel 12 long ribbons from the cucumber. Slightly overlap 6 ribbons on a clean surface to form a “sheet”. Place half the filling on one side of the sheet and roll up tightly to form a cylinder. Repeat with the leftover filling.
