Here is one of Julia Child’s many practical cooking tips to live by: “Always start out with a larger pot than what you think you need.” I often find myself wishing I’d listened to that advice! Learn from my mistakes and make sure you use a large skillet for this recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 (4-inch) cucumbers
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh Thai or Italian basil leaves
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
How to Make It
- Slice the cucumbers lengthwise into quarters. Slide the knife down the center of the cucumber quarters to remove as many seeds as you can. Dice into ½-inch pieces.
- Place the coconut oil, turmeric, lime juice, basil, and salt in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cucumbers and sauté for 7 minutes, or until the cucumbers are getting soft but not brown.
- Remove from the heat and serve warm or cold. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
