German Creamed Cucumbers Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, milk, sugar, and vinegar until smooth. Place cucumber slices in the bowl, and toss to coat with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Chill 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving.

Steps:

• Spread cucumbers and onion on a platter; season with salt and let rest for 30 minutes. Squeeze excess moisture from cucumbers.
• Stir sour cream, sugar, vinegar, dill, and parsley together in a large bowl.
• Fold cucumber and onion slices into the sour cream mixture.
• Refrigerate 8 hours to over night; garnish with paprika to serve.

Steps:

• Peel the cucumbers if waxed.
• Cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
• Cut them into 3/4 inch chunks.
• If the cucumbers are not super-firm, place the chunks in a colander and sprinkle them with 1 tablespoon of salt. Shake to distribute the salt and let them drain for about 20 minutes.
• Rinse and dry.
• If the cucumbers are already firm, proceed with the recipe. Place butter in a medium to large skillet over medium heat. When it melts, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
• Do not let the onion brown.
• Add the cucumbers and cook, stirring for about 5 minutes, until the cucumbers are just tender.
• Add pepper and, if you did not salt them earlier, salt. Turn heat to low, then stir in the cream or yogurt and a good handful of dill.
• Stir until well blended, then serve, garnished with more dill.
