I picked up a great cucumber and carrot pickle recipe when i was in indonesia in Feb. they serve it before meals with beers! YUM YUM! works really well in the summer climate! Peel de-seed and slice the cucumbers and carrots to the same size, then sprinkle liberally with sugar and massage the sugar in till veg starts to bruise and relaese liquid.(give them a good squeeze!) add some very finely sliced red onion, then finish with 2 part water to 1 part vin and a good pinch of salt. That's it! I like to finely slice in some chilli as well. I find them best served cold from the fridge with a large glasss of icy cold beer! They keep for ages but are at they're best eaten when still crispy.
