   1 tbsp Water

   1 tbsp Freshly chopped Coriander

Instructions

1. Cut the cucumbers into slices about 2.5cm/1 inch thick and carefully remove some of the seeds with a teaspoon to form a cup. Make sure you leave at least 5mm/¼ inch to form a base so the filling doesn't fall through.

2. Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the onion, celery and chili and sauté gently until soft.

3. Raise the heat, add the lamb, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until the lamb is browned.

4. In a small bowl, blend together the soy sauce, honey, cornflour and water, then add to the lamb, stirring constantly. Continue to cook until thickened slightly. Remove from the heat and cool.

5. Spoon the lamb mixture into the cucumber cups and sprinkle with the chopped coriander.

Can be made up to 6 hours in advance. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Best served at room temperature.
