JULIA CHILD'S BAKED CUCUMBERS WITH ALL VARIATIONS



Julia Child's Baked Cucumbers With All Variations image

This recipe comes from Mastering the Art of French Cooking, 1961. 'If the natural moisture content is now withdrawn beforehand, cucumbers exude so much water as they are heated that you usually end up with a tasteless mush and swear never to cook cucumbers again. Blanching for 5 minutes before cooking will remove unwanted water, but also most of the cucumber flavor. A preliminary sojourn in salt draws out the water and also the bitterness, if they are the bitter European type, yet leaves the flavor, which a little vinegar and salt accentuates. We have found the following method delicious, and suggest it for all cooked cucumber recipes. Baked cucumbers go with roast, broiled, or sauteed chicken or veal.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 cucumbers (about 8 inches long)
2 tablespoons wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 teaspoon dill or 1/2 teaspoon basil
4 tablespoons minced scallions
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Peel the cucumbers.
  • Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
  • Cut into lengthwise strips about 3/8 inch wide.
  • Cut strips into 2 inch pieces.
  • Toss the cucumber in a bowl with the vinegar, salt and sugar.
  • Let stand for 30 minutes to several hours.
  • Drain and pat dry in a towel.
  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Toss the cucumbers in a baking dish with the butter, herbs, scallions and pepper.
  • Set uncovered in the middle level of the preheated oven for about an hour, tossing 2-3 times, until cucumbers are tender, but still have a suggestion of crispiness and texture. They will barely color during cooking.
  • Variation One: Parslied Cucumbers.
  • In a warm vegetable dish toss with 2 Tbsp minced parsley.
  • Variation Two: Creamed Cucumbers.
  • Boil 1 cup whipping cream until it has reduced by half. Season with salt and pepper, fold into the hot baked cucumbers, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

ROASTED CUCUMBERS AND ONIONS WITH FRESH HERBS



Roasted Cucumbers and Onions with Fresh Herbs image

I invented this recipe out of a need for a way to use the surplus cucumbers from a friend's garden this summer. I had never heard of someone roasting cucumbers, and a quick internet search turned up nothing, so I thought it would make an interesting culinary experiment. As it turned out, though, I discovered a new family favorite! This fast and easy recipe makes a great side dish for any occasion. Great with chicken or steak! I've even eaten it by itself for a light lunch. What more could you ask for?

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

olive oil cooking spray
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small chunks
1 large cucumber - peeled, seeded, and cut lengthwise into spears
1 small sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), cut in half and sliced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Spread pieces of butter into the baking sheet and lay cucumber spears over the butter. Top with slices of sweet onion and scatter basil, parsley, cilantro, and mint over the top. Spray the vegetables again with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Roast cucumber mixture in the preheated oven until cucumber spears begin to soften, about 10 minutes. Turn the cucumbers and onion slices over and return to oven; roast until cucumbers are tender, 15 to 20 more minutes.
