Preparation

Toss cucumber, shallot and salt to combine.

Leave for at least 1 hour then rinse, strain and pat dry.

Place remaining ingredients in a pot and bring to the boil. Add cucumber, bring back to the boil then remove from heat. Transfer to a clean, dry container.

Twist It!

For best results, do not use for at least one day to allow flavours to fully develop.
