I am so obsessed with Julie and Julia. I have recorded the movie on my Tata Sky and I keep watching re-runs. It is one way of keeping myself inspired to continue doing what I have been doing for so many days now.
Having watched the movie so many times, I am amazed as to how I let the words 'Braised Cucumber' remain unheard. I did hear it today, and I had cucumbers, and butter, and so I made it. I didn't have the mint. Maybe it would change the taste of the recipe. I made it with coriander instead.
They do taste different. And they are quick to make. Though, I must admit, I am not a big fan of this one. It looks kind of cute though.
Here's the recipe.
Ingredients
Melt the butter in a pan. Add the cucumber pieces. Cover and cook on medium heat for five minutes.
Open the cover, add salt, lemon juice, coriander and pepper. Toss around for a minute.
Serve hot!
Happy Cooking!
