Partly peeling her kind of cucumber (7)
I believe the answer is:
gherkin
'cucumber' is the definition.
(gherkin is a kind of cucumber)
'partly peeling her kind' is the wordplay.
'partly' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (part of the clue is used).
'GHERKIN' can be found hidden inside 'peeling her kind'.
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for gherkin that I've seen before include "often pickled" , "Cucumber - London skyscraper" , "Pickled item" , "Type of small cucumber" , "Small cucumber, usually pickled" .)
