How to Make Baked Cucumbers With Cauliflower

  1. Steam 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets, for 5 minutes until crisp-tender.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Cut 2 large cucumbers in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out some of the seeds (optional, for less moisture).
  4. Place cucumber halves, cavity side up, in a baking dish.
  5. Dot each cucumber half with 1 tablespoon of butter or margarine.
  6. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dried dill weed over the cucumbers.
  7. Divide 1/2 cup of chopped jalapeno peppers and the steamed cauliflower evenly between the cucumber halves, filling the cavities.
  8. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese (optional) over the cucumbers and cauliflower.
  10. Pour 1/4 cup of chicken or vegetable stock (or water) into the bottom of the baking dish.
  11. Bake uncovered for 30-45 minutes, or until cucumbers are tender and slightly browned. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your cucumbers.
  12. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
