Time 15m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne, optional
2 large tomatoes, sliced paper thin
2 seedless cucumbers, sliced paper thin
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 medium red onions, peeled and sliced paper thin

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the cumin and fennel seeds in a small pan and bake until lightly browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Let cool. Place in a spice grinder and pulse until coarsely ground. Place in a bowl and mix in the peppercorns, salt and cayenne, if using.
  • Arrange the tomato slices in overlapping layers around the perimeters of 4 plates. Sprinkle with a little of the spice mixture. Just inside the tomatoes, arrange the cucumber slices in concentric circles, overlapping the layers slightly. Sprinkle the cucumbers with lemon juice, using 1 1/2 teaspoons for each plate. Season with some of the spice mixture.
  • Place the onions in a bowl and toss with 2 teaspoons of the spice mixture and the remaining lemon juice. Mound the onions in the centers of the plates and serve.
