Preparation
Step 1
Peel and slice, large matchsticks, Then we sliced them in half, lengthwise, scooped out the seeds – which is sort of a fun procedure – and chopped them into big matchsticks. These got soaked for half an hour with some vinegar, salt and sugar. Then I tossed them with melted butter, basil and minced green onions, and stuck them in the oven. For an hour. I can’t get over the insanity of the notion of cooking cucumbers for an hour. But they have not disappeared into a sour puddle when I take them out. Then even still have some bite to them. It is remarkable. Then I toss them with some hot cream that I’ve reduced to half on the stovetop, and I have Concombres a la Crème.
