Mushrooms in a cucumber sauce

The first thing to say about this recipe is that it tastes much better than it looks! It's also a great recipe for using up cucumbers if you grow them at home, as we do.

This went really nicely with mashed potatoes and barbecued pork chops that had been treated to a London broil marinade.
