Method:

1. Cut the cucumber or cabbage into thin slices. Shred the chili peppers (discarding the pips). Sprinkle and rub the salt, pepper and gin over the vegetable. Leave to season for a couple of hours.

2. Place the mixture in a jar, pour in the vinegar and mix the ingredients together, leave to stand for 3 days in winter or 2 days in summer (the marinade can be drained off or used again), turning or shaking once a day.

Note: Cabbage or cucumber prepared in this way is drained and served in small dishes as an accompaniment to any rich meat, fish or sea­food dishes.
