[karadekoolaid]

Ingredients
250 gms cucumber
50 mls rice wine vinegar
50 gms sugar
2 tsps powdered gelatin

Method

• Warm the vinegar and dissolve the powdered gelatin in it.
• Chop the cucumber roughly and then place all the ingredients in a blender/food processor. Pulse until liquidised.
• Sieve the resulting liquid to remove seeds, skin, etc. and pour into a flat baking tin, about 1" deep. Place in the fridge to set.
• If you decide to serve the jelly in small, individual glasses/cups, put a parsley leaf in the bottom before filling with the liquid.
• Serve with smoked salmon, smoked mackerel, sushi grade tuna, and add curry mayo, or teriyaki.
• You could also sub some of the vinegar with gin or vodka.

I was just thinking I'd had a brainwave and I should make this jelly to go with the tuna tartare I'm planning.
I halfway through patting myself on the back I read -

Serve with smoked salmon, smoked mackerel, sushi grade tuna, and add curry mayo, or teriyaki.

so.. I've been patting the wrong back

Why not? You can make the jelly in a rectangular pyrex and just cut into into perfect squares. The only reason I put salmon on top was to serve it as an appetiser.
Pat the right back again
