5. Stir in the lemon juice and salt and decant into a small bowl. Keep in the fridge until required, or for up to 2 days.
Pickled cucumber
1. Slice the cucumber lengthways down the middle, then slice very thinly on a mandolin or in a food processor.
2. Bring the sugar, vinegar and 150g cold tap water to the boil in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Allow to cool.
3. Chop most of the dill and mix with the sliced cucumber and pickling liquid in a container, cover and allow to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
4. Drain the cucumber. Sprinkle with the extra dill, chopped, and salt to serve. Keeps for up to a week in the fridge.
