Salad - Pickled Cucumber Dish by Carmina B. - Recipia

Cucumbers, these crunchy and refreshing vegetables, are the perfect ingredient for a savory recipe that will bring a touch of freshness to your meals. Start by washing the cucumbers well under a stream of cold water, making sure to remove any impurities. After cleaning them, slice them into thin rounds, about 2-3 mm thick, so they cook evenly and absorb the delicious flavors you will add later. Once you have sliced the cucumbers, place them in a pot of boiling water. Let them boil for a few minutes until the water starts boiling again. This step helps soften the cucumbers, preparing them for an excellent dish. After boiling, strain them from the water and immediately rinse them under a stream of cold water to stop the cooking process and maintain their crunchy texture. In another pot, add a little warm water, enough to cover the cucumbers. Put the pot on the heat and let them simmer until they become soft, but not so much that they turn into puree. In the meantime, prepare the flavorful sauce. Peel and finely chop the onion. Heat a pan with oil and add the onion, sautéing it until it becomes golden and translucent. The flavors of the sautéed onion will enhance the taste of the dish. When the onion is ready, add the pepper paste and tomato paste, mixing well to combine all the ingredients. Deglaze the sauce with the liquid in which the cucumbers boiled, bringing them together to create a delicious and consistent marinade. Pour this mixture over the cucumbers, ensuring that each piece is well coated with the sauce. Transfer everything to a baking dish and place it in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 15-20 minutes. This final step will allow the flavors to intensify, and the cucumbers to absorb all the tastes from the sauce. In the end, you will have a delicious dish, with a contrast between the crunchy texture of the cucumbers and the rich and flavorful sauce, perfect to be served alongside rice or fresh bread. Enjoy every bite and savor this simple yet flavorful dish!
