Sweet and Sour Cucumber

This is a side dish that goes well with Asian food. This makes me think of the Indonesian Atjar, but it's definitely not an authentic Atjar recipe.

Servings: 6

2 cups vinegar (distilled) 7 oz red bell pepper seeded and sliced ( 200 gram, 1 ) 14 oz cucumber, seeded 3 tbsp Splenda 1 tsp curry powder

1 Cut the cucumber in 4 pieces, slice in quarters, take out the seeds and slice in small strips 2 Cut the bell pepper in strips of the same size. 3 Put the cucumber and red bell pepper in a heat proof bowl 4 Heat the vinegar in and sweetener to boiling point, mix in the curry powder and pour over the vegetables. Ready in about 10 minutes. Drain the liquid before serving.

Tips I calculated the Nutritional info with 2 tbsp of vinegar because you drain it before serving. This goes perfect with Chicken Saté and Peanut Sauce and another vegetable dish. Like Sambal Goreng beans or a salad with bean sprouts.
