Braised Dijon Cucumbers

Ingredients

  • 1 cucumber, peeled and seeded
  • 1 small sweet onion, minced
  • 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 small pat butter
  • 1 drizzle olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried tarragon or dill (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Cut the cucumber in half, lengthwise, then cut each half into three long strips. Cut strips into 1-inch pieces. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat and add cucumbers and onion.
Cook, tossing or stirring frequently, for about 4 minutes, until cucumbers are slightly browned. Stir together mustard and vinegar and pour over cucumbers. Add butter and herbs, if using. Toss well to coat, turn heat to low and cover. Cook about 10 more minutes. The juice from the cucumbers should help them steam, but if needed, add a bit of water to keep them from burning or sticking. When tender, sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Serve warm.
