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 is an interesting vegetarian mushroom sauce that is nice poured over vegetables and especially hard-boiled eggs.

• A good grind of black pepper
• 50g [2 oz] butter
• 110 g [4 oz] of oyster mushrooms, wiped clean and sliced
