with the same predicament and some recipes for pickles!

| These recipes are particularly good for cukes that are showing signs of drying
in the middle. When you peel them, you can leave stripes of peel on for
decoration. You can also score them lengthwise with a fork before slicing to
give a serrated look.
Sauteed cukes & dill - excellent with grilled salmon!
Peel 'em, and cut 'em in half lengthwise. Then scoop out the seeds and slice
them. In a sautee pan, heat butter and a touch of olive oil add some fresh
minced dill and the sliced cukes, and toss for a few minutes, till warmed
thru.
Stuffed cukes -
For party finger food, peel cukes and cut them into 3 inch (more or less)
sections. Remove the seeds using an apple corer (the length of the corer
dictates whether or not you can start with 3" sections or more or less) and
stuff with deviled ham, or egg salad, or anything else about that thickness.
Slice into 1 inch sections and serve.

I just came back from lunch at a place called Pepper's in
Northborough. One of the side dishes they served was a
cucumber and dill in sour cream - it was fantastic!
I'm gonna stop at the store today and whip up a batch for
myself!!

| 1356.6 | cucumber sandwiches | HPSCAD::WHITMAN | Acid rain burns my BASS | Thu Sep 01 1988 09:12 | 4 |
| My wife and 13 yr old daughter love cucumber sandwiches.
These consist of a generous portion of cuke slices, mayonaise and of course
the bread.....

| 1356.7 | Stir-fry | MCIS2::CORMIER | | Thu Sep 01 1988 11:44 | 12 |
| I frequently use cucumbers in place of zucchini or summer squash
in a pasta stir-fry number I whip up. I sautee garlic and onions
in olive oil, add carrots (slice paper thin on my hand grater) and
a little bit of red bell pepper, then toss in sliced cucumbers and
cooked linguini and just heat through. I like the cukes to stay
crunchy, so they go in last. SOmetimes I add soy sauce and honey
to make it a little on the Oriental side, or just sprinkle with
freshly grated romano and a pat of butter. Oh, yeah. If not going
the Oriental route, fresh basil is a must!

| 1356.8 | Thai cucumber salad? | STAR::DIPIRRO | | Fri Aug 28 1992 13:04 | 3 |
| Anyone know how to make the Thai cold cucumber salad you frequently
find in Thai restaurants? It's a light, clear dressing, spicy, and has
little more than sliced cucumbers in it.
|
| 1356.9 | A simple cold cucumber salad... | CLOSET::HARDY::JONES | Posting bail for my arrested development.... | Fri Aug 28 1992 13:20 | 8 |

Try this:
Thinly sliced, peeled cucumbers
Cider vinegar cut with a bit of sugar
Fresh chopped dill
Simple, light, and delicious.
|
| 1356.10 | Or ask the restaurant what's in the salad dressing. | JULIET::CANTONI_MI | That really ghasts my flabber! | Fri Aug 28 1992 14:00 | 2 |
| Thai cucumber usually has a yogurt & mint dressing on it. I don't have
a recipe for it, but you could mix it to taste.

| 1356.12 | Sounds like the one to try | STAR::DIPIRRO | | Mon Aug 31 1992 12:56 | 3 |
| That (.11) sounds about right. I'll give it a try. I've tried the
yogurt varieties before and didn't care for them as much. Thanks for
all the suggestions!

I think you are confusing this with an Indian dish.
|
| 1356.14 | Oooops! | JULIET::CANTONI_MI | That really ghasts my flabber! | Tue Sep 01 1992 11:37 | 2 |
| .13 You're right; I was thinking of Middle Eastern (Morrocan?)
cucumber salad.

| 1356.15 | a new angle | KAOFS::M_BARNEY | Dance with a Moonlit Knight | Thu Aug 26 1993 14:14 | 6 |
| Is there something you can use cucumbers in, that you don't have
to serve them fresh? i.e. other than pickling, what other foods
can you preserve or freeze cucumbers in.
Monica (no time to fuss with pickling)

| Make a raita by grating some cucumber into plain yogurt, add chopped
tomatoes and green pepper, season with some curry powder. Use as a
condiment or salad in an Indian meal, or as a dip.
|
| 1356.19 | | YANK::GAILANN | back to bodacious! | Thu Sep 02 1993 07:21 | 10 |
| further to .18
Remember to remove as much excess moisture from cucumbers first and if
you really want a thick raita use Greek yogurt.
To remove moisture from cucumbers: Grate cucumbers. After, place in a
cheese cloth lined colander (or in a coffee filter!) and leave for a
half hour or so. Before removing wrap tightly and give an additional
squeeze. Now proceed as in .18. I always add freshly chopped mint to
mine as well.
