A few more tips:

You can use raw hazelnuts instead of peanuts for a different flavor. Try adding both peanuts and olives and sesame seeds for a full, distinctive taste.

Steps

1

Peel and dice the cucumbers.
2

Finely slice the chili pepper and chop the cilantro if using fresh.
3

Lightly toast the sesame seeds in a small skillet. Be careful—they toast quickly. It should take about 2 minutes.
4

In a skillet, add 3 drops of olive oil and the nuts. Toast until lightly golden, then remove and gently crush them with a mortar and pestle.
5

Add 4 more drops of olive oil to the skillet and toast the cumin seeds until golden.
6

Add the sliced chili pepper and remove the skillet from the heat.
7

Add the diced cucumber and salt. If it splatters, cover with a lid and shake the skillet gently.
8

Do not return to the heat.
9

Serve immediately once it reaches room temperature.
