Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 pounds cucumbers, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons red chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon coarse pepper
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Peel the cucumbers and trim and discard the ends. Slice them at an angle 1/4-inch thick.

  • Step 2: Toss them in a colander with the salt and let them rest over a bowl or in the sink for 20 minutes.

  • Step 3: Once they give up their copious liquid, rinse them briefly and pat them as dry as possible with a clean kitchen towel, then transfer to a medium bowl along with the sugar and orange juice. Toss very well to coat evenly.

  • Step 4: Spread the cucumbers in a shallow dish and sprinkle with spices.

  • Step 5: Eat immediately, or cover and refrigerate; these will keep for three days.
