This is a recipe from Spiral Path Farm that came with our CSA order. It was a great mix of candy white onion - so mild and sweet you can eat it raw with salad - sweet potatoes, mixed lettuce greens, kale, lots of free and gold zucchini, cucumbers, a big greenhouse tomato and some black raspberries.
The rice vinegar and cilantro make this a refreshing Asian style side. After making this recipe once, I treated myself to a clever mandolin-type device to make very thin cucumber slices in no time. The second batch was a breeze.
Ingredients:
1 cup water
1 cup rice vinegar
1 cup raw organic sugar or 1/3 cup agave (I used the latter and decreased the water and vinegar to 2/3 cup each)
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups thinly sliced cucumbers
1/2 cup SWEET onion, sliced thin
1+ Tbsp cilantro, minced
Directions:
1) Bring the 1st 4 ingredients to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Allow to cool.
2) Pour over cucumbers, cilantro and onions. Allow to sit for one hour or overnight.
3) Chopped tomatoes can also be added.
