Zubereitung von North Croatian Cucumber Stew Cuspajz Od Krastavaca

Peel 1 kg of cucumbers and slice them into bite-sized pieces, as you would for a salad.
Place the sliced cucumbers in a colander, salt generously (about 1 tbsp), and set aside for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt 50g of lard over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of finely minced garlic and 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour. Sauté, stirring constantly, until the flour turns a light brown color.
Stir in 1 tbsp of sweet paprika (or more, to taste). Cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously.
Gradually whisk in 250 ml of cold water to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Gently squeeze the salted cucumbers to remove excess liquid. Add them to the pot.
Add 2 tbsp of white wine vinegar, 1 tsp of salt (or to taste), and a generous grind of black pepper. Add enough water to almost cover the cucumbers.
Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the cucumbers are tender but still hold their shape.
Before serving, stir in 150g of sour cream. Serve warm as a delightful side dish to your main course.
