PS: I had smacked cucumber with it - a Fuchsia Dunlop recipe. It's the first recipe of the article: https://amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/aug/04/20-best-summer-salads-part-1-crab-avocado-sichuan-cucumber

It's one of my favourite side dishes; simple and gorgeous tasting, and it was a perfect foil for the bread pizza.
