Stewed Cucumbers

Stewed cucumbers is an easy vegetable recipe to make using cucumbers, onion and tomato, for an unusual cucumber side dish.

If you can get a fairly large, ripe cucumber try this recipe, you will be pleasantly surprised.

I like cooking this tasty vegetable dish in the fall for something a little different.

It goes well with homemade hamburgers or baked sausages, and rice or potatoes, as it has its own creamy sauce.

Ingredients:

• 1-1 1/2 lb. large ripe cucumber
• 1-2 ripe tomatoes
• 1/2 medium onion
• 2 slices bacon
• 1/2 tsp. dried dill or parsley
• salt to taste
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tsp. cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp. water

Method:

• Peel cucumber from top to stem.
• Taste to make sure its not bitter.
• Cut into 4 pieces, lengthwise.
• Using a spoon, remove seeds.
• Cut cucumber into 1/2" pieces.
• Peel 1 or 2 tomatoes and cut into pieces.
• Chop onion.
• In a medium size saucepan, fry cut up bacon until crisp.
• Remove bacon bits with slotted spoon, set aside.
• Add cucumber pieces, tomato pieces and chopped onion to bacon fat and saute for about 5 minutes.
• Add water, cover pan and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Stir in the cornstarch mixed with water.
• Bring to boil while stirring until thickened.
