Instructions:

Cut the ends of the cucumbers, cut the cucumbers in half diagonally and remove the soft seed strand inside. Season the cucumbers inside and out with salt, soak in their own juice, then place in hot water for 5 minutes. Then remove, rinse with cold water and pat dry. For the filling, finely dice halibut fillet and cool well. Season fish with ginger, chopped chili, salt and pepper. Grind the fish in a food processor together with the egg white, while slowly adding the cream. Mix in the lime juice and finally also the coarsely chopped shrimps.

Fill the fish sauce into a pastry bag and fill the hollowed out cucumbers with it. Wrap the cucumbers in aluminum foil, seal the foil ends tightly. Heat water in a saucepan and simmer the cucumbers in it gently for about 25 min (be careful not to make the water bubble!) For the bell pepper sauce, sauté peeled, finely chopped shallots in butter. Add sliced garlic and diced bell bell pepper. Deglaze with Noilly Prat and white wine.

Add juice of one lemon, coconut milk, chicken broth, thyme, clove and a small amount of cooking stock. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes over high heat until reduced. Season vigorously with salt and freshly ground pepper. Blend with a hand blender and strain through a fine sieve.

Arrange bell pepper sauce on plates. Remove the cucumbers from the foil and cut into slices.
