Cucumeres
(Braised Cucumbers)

Origin: Roman      Period: Traditional

Original Recipe

Cucumeres (from Apicius' De Re Coquinaria)

Cucumeres rasos, sive ex liquamine, sive ex oenogaro: sine ructu et gravitudine teneriores senties.

Translation

Stew the peeled cucumbers either in broth or in a wine sauce; and you will find them to be tender and not causing indigestion.

Ingredients:

1 large cucumber
3 tbsp white wine vinegar
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp clear honey
sea salt to taste


Method:

Peel the cucumber and cut crosswise into thick slices. Add these to a pan and pour the wine vinegar, olive oil and honey over them. Gently cook the cucumber in the soft until the slices have just softened, shaking the pan occasionally to make sure the cucumber isn't sticking to the base.

Serve hot as a side dish.
