How to Make A Regalia Of Cucumbers

1. Peel the cucumber, cut it in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and pulp using a teaspoon.
2. Slice each cucumber half into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
3. Melt the butter in a wide, shallow pan over medium-low heat.
4. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
5. 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.
6. Pour in the heavy cream (or crème fraîche). Season delicately with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
7. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened. Be careful not to overcook the cucumbers.
8. Stir in the freshly chopped herbs just before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
