Friendly reminder: It's Friday....This, is a very easy, very simple recipe. No cooking required, just ingredients, and they are done in under an hour. You know - I buy cucumbers with the best of intentions, I love them - I swear. But it's a race with those things! You think you have time to enjoy them, then you go to grab one and it's gone mush... and, not to toot my own horn here or anything, but I eat a
lot of vegetables, and these things
still escape me. The cucumber has been one of those vegetables (
fruits?) I have to hurry & eat for fear of losing it - until now! I give you,
Asian Marinated Cucumbers:
Japanese quick pickles, sesame oil pickles, I've heard a few names. You've most likely had this as an appetizer in a Japanese restaurant or Sushi house, while you order. They are delicious, and
they are friggin' easy.
I wish I had the time & dedication to pickle, really I do. One of these Saturdays I'm going to set aside the whole day to pickling a million wonderful different recipes that we can all be amazed by, but until then, this is my stand-by.
As soon as I see my cucumbers threatening the end is near, I whip up a batch of these. I've brought these to parties, and they've been a big hit. Plus, you can add other vegetables: Bell peppers, shredded carrots, go wild.
Head over to
Reckless Abandon for the full recipe, one of the great things about these is that they only get better as they stay in the fridge.
Enjoy!
