Ingredients

2 cucumbers
1 pound ground pork
1 egg
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons sugar
3 tablespoons red wine
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger
1-1/2 tablespoons Mrs. Dash® Lemon Pepper seasoning blend
1-1/2 tablespoons Mrs. Dash® Chicken Grilling Blend
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 cup water

Preparation

Peel cucumbers and cut each cucumber horizontally into 4 round pieces. Remove seeds from the middle of each cucumber round to make it hollow in the center.
In a mixing bowl combine ground meat with egg, cornstarch, sugar, wine, garlic powder, ginger, Mrs. Dash seasonings, basil and parsley.
Add 1/4 cup water gradually into ground meat mixture and mix well until water is absorbed.
Stuff the cucumber round with ground meat stuffing. Place each piece in a food steamer and steam about 15 minutes until meat is done.

Helpful hints

If you like cucumber to be a little softer, steam up to 20 minutes.
Use a rice cooker/food steamer or steam on the stove top in a wok or pan with a metal or bamboo steam basket.
You can thicken the juices from cooked Cucumber Rings by adding one teaspoon cornstarch to juices in a sauce pan and heat until sauce thickens. Drizzle the sauce over cucumbers and top with chopped green onion.
This recipe works well with ground chicken or turkey if poultry is preferred over pork.
