How to Make A Regalia Of Cucumbers
- Peel the cucumber, cut it in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and pulp using a teaspoon.
- Slice each cucumber half into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
- Melt the butter in a wide, shallow pan over medium-low heat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the cucumber slices to the pan. Cover and cook, stirring gently every minute or two, for approximately 3 minutes, until slightly tender but still crisp.
- Pour in the heavy cream (or crème fraîche). Season delicately with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened. Be careful not to overcook the cucumbers.
- Stir in the freshly chopped herbs just before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
