Chilli- pickled cucumbers

“Often, when returning from Europe to Australia, we would stop somewhere in Asia. This recipe was inspired by those trips.

They lend a spicy, savoury twist to favourites such as a Bloody Mary.” This is an edited extract from Eat at the Bar by Matt McConnell with Jo Gamvros (Hardie Grant Books, RRP $50).
