SMASHED CUCUMBER SALAD

This dish is of the most famous tapas from Galicia! It is originally made with octopus. We love the look of this dish and needed to make a plant-based version from it. Here you have a version that tastes and feels the same! 

SERVES: 2-4

COOKS IN: 90'

DIFFICULTY: 4/10

INGREDIENTS

- 1 tsp salt

- 1 tsp sweetener

- 1 tbsp rice vinegar

- 1 tsp sesame oil

- 1 tbsp olive oil

- 1 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tsp grated ginger


TOPPING

- coriander

- sesame seeds

METHOD

1. Cut the washed cucumber in half along the long side

2. Place the open sides on a chopping board and hammer on the cucumbers with a heavy item (knife, hammer, garlic press) so that they kind of break

3. Turn around and remove the seeds

4. Cut into chunks

5. Throw chunks into a drainer or fabric and mix with some salt

6. Drain them on top of a bowl by placing a heavy item on top of the cucumbers for at least 20-30 minutes

7. Mix all the ingredients of the dressing in a bowl

8. Mix dressing with the dried cucumber chunks and let marinade for at least 1 hour or overnight.

9. Top up with some fresh coriander and sesame seeds and we like to eat it with chop sticks
