Guam Style Feast!

Chamorro Cucumber Slices

Recipe #38596 | 20 min | 20 min prep | add private note

From the southern Pacific island of Guam where we lived for 4 years! These were a favorite at our church potluck suppers and picnics with barbequed chicken and ribs! Very refreshing in hot and humid weather! (The name "Chamorro" comes from the native people of Guam...very warm, and friendly people...)

I'm from Guam and have made this side dish before, but never had exact measurments for it. So, this was nice - no testing and tasting and more testing and tasting to get it just right. I added crushed red pepper flakes and it gave the cucumbers a slight bite. I also used green onions. I marinated the cucumbers all day - about 8 hours or so. I would turn the bowl over every few hours to make sure every cucumber got soaked. My husband loved it and said he had never eaten cucumbers in this way. Not one sliced cucumber was left by the time dinner was over.

    These were very refreshing. We had them today, with our Liberation Day fiesta. They were a nice, light accompaniment to Kelaguen and red rice.

    We love cucumbers and eat them often. This was a nice change from the vinegar type. My husband thought they were outstanding so I'm sure this will be made a lot in this house. I let them soak for 8-9 hours before eating. I will only make enough for one meal at a time because the next day it wasn't quite as tasty as the 1st.
