Mediterranean Marinated Cucumbers Recipes

Steps:

• slice the cucumber very thinly and sprinkle with salt, let stand for an hour.
• combine all other ingredients in a bowl, stir, chill.
• add cucumbers, cover and marinate in fridge over night.
• store uneaten cucumbers covered in brine in fridge.

Steps:

• In large saucepan, combine vinegar, sugar, celery seed, and salt. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat; refrigerate, covered, at least 4 hours.
• In large bowl, combine cucumbers, bell pepper, lemon peel, and onions. Mix well; set aside.
• Add *chilled* sauce to cucumber mix; toss gently. Place in a 2 1/2 quart container; cover & refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Combine 1 container hummus and all but 1/4 cup of the artichoke hearts in a food processor. Puree until very smooth, about 5 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed. Spread the artichoke hummus layer in the bottom of the trifle bowl. Sprinkle with all but 2 tablespoons of the olives. Rinse out the food processor bowl and blade and wipe dry.
• Combine 1 container hummus with all but 2 tablespoons of the sun-dried tomatoes and 2 tablespoons water in the food processor. Puree until very smooth, about 5 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed. Drop dollops of the sun-dried tomato hummus over the olives, working around the outside first. Use a spatula to spread the mixture out to the side of the bowl, then spread the mixture towards the center. (This will keep the olives from being dragged around.) Sprinkle the layer with all but 1/4 cup of the cucumbers. Rinse out the food processor bowl and wipe dry.
• Combine the remaining container of hummus with all but 2 tablespoons of the basil in the food processor. Puree until very smooth, about 5 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed. Spread the basil hummus over the cucumber layer in the same manner as the previous layer. Sprinkle with all but 1/4 cup of the chickpeas.
• Spread the yogurt over the chickpea layer. Chop the remaining artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes and basil. Sprinkle the mixture over the top of the yogurt along with the olives, chickpeas and cucumbers.
• Serve with a large spoon and pita chips.

Steps:

• Combine the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, oil and 1 tablespoon water in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add the cucumbers, cover, and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Serve chilled.

Steps:

• Here's the beauty: Put everything in a tupperware with a lid, shake, and pop in the fridge for several hours or overnight; shaking periodically (so I'm superstitious).
• Serve cold or at room temp if you're inclined.
• ENJOY (And revel since it was a one-stepper).

Steps:

• Toss the cucumbers and onions together.
• Mix the rest of the ingredients in a jar with lid.
• Shake well.
• Pour over cucumbers.
• Cover and chill.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients and refrigerate at least a few hours, until ready to serve.
• Stir occasionally to make sure all the cucumbers are marinating evenly.
• NOTE: Brownulated Brown Sugar is a granulated brown sugar made by Domino Sugar.
• For the 1/4 cup required, you can substitute a mixture of 3 1/2 tablespoons of light brown sugar mixed with 1/2 tablespoon of granulated white sugar.

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, sage, thyme, marjoram, basil, oregano, garlic powder, and pepper in a large, shallow dish. Mix with a fork until mixture looks uniform.

Steps:

• Whisk vinegar, sugar, salt, and celery seed together in a large bowl; stir in cucumbers and onion. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Serve cold.

Steps:

• Brine cucumbers: Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to cut the cucumbers into ⅓-inch rounds. Place in a colander fitted over a bowl and add salt; mix well to ensure the cucumbers are evenly salted. Let rest at room temperature to drain, 20 minutes. While they drain, prepare the marinade (Step 2).
• Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the gochugaru, mirin, rice vinegar, sugar, and fish sauce. Smash and peel the garlic, then finely chop. Use the flat part of your knife to press down on the garlic to further break it down, then continue to mince. Add the garlic to the marinade.
• Marinate cucumbers: Rinse all the salt off the cucumbers with cold water. Whisk the marinade, then add the cucumbers; use a large spoon to toss, making sure the cucumbers are evenly coated with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Cucumbers will have released more liquid, which helps the marinating process. At this point, they're ready to eat; however, refrigerating overnight will round out the flavors. Place the cucumbers, along with some marinade, in a lidded container and store in the fridge overnight; serve cold. (The cucumbers can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, or for as long as the cucumbers remain firm and crunchy.)
