Phase 1
Grate the cucumber onto a plate using a coarse grater. Place the grated cucumber in the centre of a clean tea towel. Gather up the edges to enclose the grated cucumber and squeeze over a small bowl, to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the juices and place the squeezed cucumber in the small bowl.
