Cook Time:
5 minutes
Servings:
4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 small shallot, very finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 medium cucumbers, peeled and sliced on a bias into ¼-inch rounds
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped, tender fresh herbs (any combination of basil, chervil, chives, dill, mint, parsley or tarragon)
  • ½ teaspoon flaky salt
Directions
  1. To a small bowl, add the shallot and rice vinegar. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet set over medium heat, add the butter. Once it is melted, add the cucumbers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cucumbers turn pale green and are warmed through and tender, taking care to not let the cucumbers brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and season the cucumbers with the kosher salt.
  3. Transfer the cucumbers to a medium bowl and pour the shallot-vinegar mixture over the top. Add the herbs, gently stir, then sprinkle the flaky salt over the top. Serve immediately (the longer the cucumbers sit, the softer they become).
