Braised Cucumbers image

I searched on the internet for braised cucumbers after watching 'Julie and Julia' for the umpteenth time. There weren't many recipes and they were all different. I took the information from all the recipes and meshed them together, deleting some ingredients and adding others. The dish turned out wonderful. This is a side dish that I have served with quite a few different types of main dishes. It seems to go with almost any type of food.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 large cucumbers - peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch chunks
2 tablespoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon crushed dried mint
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place cucumbers in a shallow baking dish and sprinkle kosher salt over the top; toss to coat and let rest, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Drain cucumbers and discard any accumulated liquid.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir cucumbers in hot butter until cucumbers are heated through and color starts to change, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer cucumbers to a serving dish and season with lemon juice, mint, and black pepper.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cucumbers turned out too sour. I think I'll use less vinegar next time.

These were really good! I used a little less sugar than the recipe called for, and they were still plenty sweet. I also added a bit of dill, which gave them a nice fresh flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.

I was really disappointed with this recipe. The cucumbers were tough and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

Easy to make and delicious! I used a combination of white and apple cider vinegar, and it gave the cucumbers a nice tangy flavor. I also added a bit of crushed red pepper flakes for a little spice. Will definitely make again!
