  1. Place sliced cucumber into a large colander and season well with coarse sea salt.

  2. Toss well to ensure the salt is distributed evenly.

  3. Place the colander on a shallow plate and cover the cucumber with a small plate.

  4. Place a weight on top of the plate, such as a small bowl of water, and leave to degorge. The water will collect on the bottom of the larger plate.
