Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed, plus 2 tablespoons, thinly sliced
  • 2 serrano pepper, seeded, and sliced into half moons
  • 2 English cucumbers, ends trimmed and thinly sliced on a mandoline
  • 1 red onion, peeled and thinly sliced on a mandoline

Directions

In medium saucepan over high heat, combine the vinegar, salt, sugar, the crushed garlic clove and 1 serrano pepper. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat off and allow to cool.

Put the cucumbers and red onions in a large, nonmetallic serving bowl with remaining serrano pepper and the thinly sliced garlic and toss to combine.

When the vinegar mixture has cooled, strain it into a small bowl and pour it over the vegetables. Stir to coat the vegetables with the vinegar mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

    I agree with the previous reviewer about adding honey...makes all the difference in the world. The thinner the better on the sliced cukes, and a mandoline is the way to go. Also, serve ICE COLD.

    this is a quick and good recipe, but too sharp. i added about 2 tablespoons of honey, and that made all the difference. seems to me that Guy, or his staff, should have picked up on this.
