List of Ingredients
serves 6-8
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp crushed hot red pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp cayenne
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
2 large European cucumbers (the long skinny seedless type)
1 1/2 tsp sesame oil
1 small red onion cut into thin slivers
1 Tbs fresh lime juice
Recipe
In a small bowl combine sugar, hot pepper, salt, paprika, pepper,
cayenne & garlic. Mix well. Cut cucumbers in half lengthwise, then
crosswise into 1/4" slices (to make 4 cups worth) (If you have to use
waxed cukes, peel first then cut in half lengthwise & scoop out seeds
before slicing) In a large non-stick skillet heat sesame oil over
medium heat. Add cucumbers & red onion. Cook, stirring often for 2
minutes. Add spice mixture & cook for 1 minute more. Add lime juice
& cook, stirring often until most liquid is absorbed, about another
minute. Transfer to a bowl & let cool. Cover & refrigerate at least
3 hours to let flavors mellow. Serve at room temperature.
