Cucumber Relish


This cool, crisp delish is really easy to make and it tastes so delightful and delicious! A perfect accompaniment to the coming summer grilling season.

  • 300-350 g Cucumber, sliced
  • 50 g Carrot
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 1 tsp Brown sugar (preferable rock sugar)
  • 3 tbsp White vinegar (preferable white rice vinegar)
  • 2-3 Pickled pepperoncini
  • 2-3 clove Garlic, sliced
  1. Thinly peel the carrot and cut the pickled chilli into small pieces. Rinse and slice cucumber. Place cucumber slices in a bowl together with peeled carrot and sprinkle salt over. Let stand for 2 hours.
  2. Drain, rinse well with cold water and drain again. Transfer cucumber and peeled carrots to a glass jar. Combine together honey, brown sugar, white vinegar, sliced garlic and pickled pepperoni in a bowl. Pour over the cucumber. Seal the jar and shake to mix. Marinate it in a fridge for 1 day. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired and serve.

Oooh...my favourite. I love this...very refreshing and appetising. I had just made some last week but with pineapple. It's great when eating curry. I love that you added carrots. It adds to the colour.

I love the close up! I turned on some friends in Texas to this side dish and now I hear the husband eats at the place often just to have some- lol, she does not cook often, so unless I make it for them, I will try and send her this post so she can see your beautiful dish, and maybe she will try!

You're right, the grilling season is coming again... I can imagine that this cucumber salad would taste good with any BBQ meat. Do you grill often?

Angie
Just fiy: I have added a link on the post, you can order shredded phyllo from Amazon; also if you go on the company'site "Athens" they have a section where they list all the stores that they sell it at. I guess you are not in the US?

Angie,
I haven't seen pickled pepperoni here in the US. Are you talking about the pepperoni (Italian cured sausage) that we use for pizza topping?

[Reply]
Angie's Recipes 24/4/10 13:24

Tuty: They are the pickled green chillies.

Tebonin 29/4/10 08:48
