CUCUMBERS AND MINT
Time in the Kitchen: 15 minutes
Servings: 3
9 small Persian cucumbers
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup fresh mint, finely chopped
sea salt to taste
Cooking cucumbers, rather than eating them raw, subtly changes the flavor without losing the crisp, refreshing qualities that make cucumbers so
popular. Broiling is the fastest method, but you can try sautéing or grilling cukes, too. Any type of cucumber can be used in this recipe, but small
Persian cucumbers consistently have good flavor and a crunchy texture.
Preheat broiler to low heat.
Cut cucumbers in half lengthwise, then in half again.
Drizzle cucumbers with olive oil and put under the broiler for five minutes. The cucumbers will soften but still have some crispness.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with mint. Add sea salt to taste.
