But it's not always the most digestible vegetable. But add a few ingredients and put them over some heat, and now it's a whole different story. Ellen Goldsmith, who wrote the new cookbook Nutritional Healing with Chinese Medicine, stopped by Tonia's Kitchen to talk about how Asian influences can make things so much healthier. Ellen told Tonia you only have to sauté the cucumbers for a short time, and combine them avocado oil, unsalted raw peanuts and rice vinegar, along with Szechuan Peppercorns. It makes for an amazing side, or just stands well on its own! And being cooked makes these cucumbers a lot more digestible!
