Ingredients

  • 1 pound cucumbers, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 pinch dried dill weed

Directions

  1. Cut cucumbers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Cut into 3/4 inch chunks. If the chunks aren't firm, place them in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let drain 20 minutes (if they are firm you may omit this step).
  2. Place butter in a medium to large skillet over medium heat. When it melts, add the onion and cook 5 minutes. Stir in the cucumbers and cook another 5 minutes. Sprinkle with black pepper to taste.
  3. Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream and plenty of dill. Stir and serve warm.
