SPICY CUCUMBER RELISH Ingredients 1 cup white vinegar 1 cup brown or white sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 large cucumber 4-6 small Thai chilies or 2-3 serrano chilies ½ peanuts, finely chopped 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped including stems Technique Combine vinegar, sugar and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and cool to room temp. When ready to serve, peel the cucumber, cut in half and seed. Cut the halves into thin slices. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix gently. Note: You can make the dressing mixture in advance, but add the cucumber and peanuts just before service so they stay crisp.
