Comment préparer Creamed Cucumber

Peel and thinly slice 1 medium cucumber and 1 medium carrot.
Place the cucumber and carrot in a saucepan with 1/4 cup of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3 minutes.
Drain the vegetables, reserving the cooking liquid. Add enough milk to the reserved liquid to make 1/2 cup total liquid.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and whisk constantly until smooth (roux).
Gradually whisk in the cucumber-milk liquid, stirring continuously until the sauce comes to a boil and thickens.
Add the cooked cucumber and carrot mixture, 1/4 cup of grated cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice), and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Garnish with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley before serving.
