Spiced Cucumbers and Coconut Milk

Directions

1. 1.

   Heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add slices peeled lemon cucumber or any other cucumber. Sauté until beginning to soften, about 1 minute. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add chopped small tomatoes, sliced scallions, sliced red thai chiles (with seeds), and smashed garlic clove. Sauté until vegetables are soft, 2-3 minutes. Add unsweetened coconut milk and honey; simmer until vegetables are cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Stir in fresh cilantro leaves and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with rice, if desired.
