Make   -   (40 min + 1/2 to 2 hrs marinade)
  1. Slice CUCUMBER into thin juliennes. I use a julienning "Y" peeler for this, then cut the strips to about 2 inch lengths.
  2. Peel CARROTS and slice into thin juliennes. Again, I use a julienning "Y" peeler, then cut into about 2 inch lengths. Mix with Cucumbers.
  3. Cut SHALLOT in half lengthwise. Cut off tip and slice thin. I slice lengthwise. Mix with Cucumbers.
  4. Split CHILI lengthwise, then slice very thin crosswise. Mix with Cucumber.
  5. Mix together All Items. Let marinade for at least 30 minutes, preferably a couple of hours, tumbling now and then. Refrigerated in a sealed container this pickle will keep a couple of weeks.
NOTES:

  1. Cucumbers:

      If at all possible, use small cucumbers that don't need to be skinned or seeded, such as Persian, Japanese or European. If you have only the standard waxed green blimps, peel them and seed them, then measure out the given weight.
  2. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
