JULIA CHILD'S BAKED CUCUMBERS WITH ALL VARIATIONS
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 'If the natural moisture content is now withdrawn beforehand, cucumbers exude so much water as they are heated that you usually end up with a tasteless mush and swear never to cook cucumbers again.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.

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.

37 CUCUMBER RECIPES FOR A COOLING, CRISP BITE ANY TIME
From bonappetit.com
- Smashed Cucumber Salad. With a tahini-lime dressing and drizzle of chile oil, this is one of those cucumber recipes that would pair nicely with a range of dishes.
- Chile-Cucumber Agua Fresca. Pair this cocktail—punchy from sharp lemon juice and a little habanero heat—with salty snacks. And if you're having it after hours, feel free to add a splash of your favorite Mexican spirit.
- Cucumber and Cilantro Chutney Sandwich. This is not your basic cream cheese and cucumber sandwich. This one also boasts a tangy chutney, made from cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.
- Ultimate Zoodles. The zoodle trend is over, you say? They're so satisfying, we don't care. If you don't have a spiralizer, just cut zucchini and cucumbers into thin matchsticks.
- Smashed Cucumber and Melon Salad. This sweet and savory cucumber salad recipe is inspired by pai huang gau, Chinese spicy smashed cucumbers. Smashing Persian cucumbers is an easy way to deseed them, and it also gives them craggy edges ideal for catching the rice vinegar and sesame oil dressing.
- Chicken and Cucumber Rice Bowls. This one's for the people who like to turn leftovers into something new. Roast a big batch of chicken thighs for dinner and use whatever you didn't eat to throw together this grain bowl with minimal prep time.
- Crispy Chickpea and Cucumber Salad. In what could easily be a side dish or a main, this recipe sold us with the ingredient list alone: garlic, cumin, turmeric, chickpeas, feta, and English cucumbers.
- Chill-Out Honeydew Cucumber Slushy. This icy blend of cucumbers, melon, mint, and coconut water is the ultimate cooling concoction. A pinch of salt rounds out the sweetness of the melon and tames the bitterness of the cukes.
- For the Love of Cottage Cheese Salad. If the idea of cottage cheese in a summer tomato salad sounds weird to you, think of it like a caprese that just got back from a little Eastern European vacation.
- Spicy Lightly Pickled Cucumbers. You don't need to turn on the stove to make this pickle brine. Just toss cucumbers in a bowl with the vinegary mixture and let them sit in the fridge for a total time of at least one hour.
