Ingredients

1 pint roasted tomatoes, quartered and diced
3 pickled shallots, diced
1 jalapeno, roasted and diced (remove seeds for a less spicy dish!)
1 tbsp. cilantro stems, diced
1 tsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. light honey
Salt and pepper (to taste)
1 large cucumber

Preparation

Quarter and dice tomatoes. Dice jalapeno. In a pan, roast tomatoes and jalapenos over light to medium heat in olive oil, not too long. Tomatoes should be warmed, not liquefied.
In a mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, jalapeno, shallots, cilantro stems, olive oil, honey, and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Thinly slice cucumber and portion contents of mixing bowl to the slices. Serve!
