Most of us get distracted at some point in the season and fail to harvest some of those cucumbers- it’s hard to keep up with them when they really start fruiting! Here is a solution for those overgrown, seedy slicing cukes that are no good for pickling or salads. I like to serve in a small glasses with a crouton on top but it tastes just as good in a bowl!
Ingredients
2-3 large slicing cucumbers, peeled, de-seeded, diced
1 quart your favorite unflavored yoghurt
Handful fresh mint and /or dill and chives
1 clove garlic
1 small shallot
Salt to taste
Squeeze of lemon or vinegar
drizzle of honey
Instructions
1. Mix cucumber, shallot, yoghurt, minced herbs and garlic, salt, honey and lemon.
2. Blend in a blender or use immersion blender to puree.
3. Mix well and allow to sit for an hour or more.
4. Adjust consistency and seasoning as needed. You can use milk or veg stock to thin it out.
