Ingredients for 4 servings

  • It hasn't been very long that cucumbers are served cold and in salads.
  • In all the great works and classic recipes of French cuisine, cucumbers were served as a hot garnish, often turned and stewed in cream, butter, in soup etc or to accompany the most delicate dishes. And then the part concerning you, my faithful visitors.
  • Re-reading your multiple messages, I noticed that when you grew these cucumbers in your gardens, the production became so important that you were looking for ways to change from the endless salad.
  • So from these 2 observations was born this ratatouille recipe where I simply swapped the zucchini for cucumbers.
  • It was tasting it to good friends that they, while savoring it, found this swap I quote: astounding.
  • So I decided to share it with you and I am waiting of course as usual for your comments.
