- A good grind of black pepper
- 100g [4 oz] butter
- 225 g [8 oz] of interesting mushrooms, wiped clean and sliced
- 1 tablespoon [15 ml] plain flour
- 1 small cucumber, peeled and cubed
- 150 ml [1/4 pint] hot vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- sea salt to taste
- Freshly chopped parsley to garnish
Method
- Add a good grind of black pepper to a small saucepan
- Melt half of the butter
- Saute the mushrooms in the butter for 4 minutes, turning often
- Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm
- Melt the remaining butter
- Cook the cucumber cubes until they visibly 'wilt', about 5 minutes, stirring now and then
- Make a roux by sprinkling the flour over the buttery cucumber and mix well so all the fat is absorbed
- Add the dried dill and hot stock and blend into a sauce
- Bring to the boil and then reduce and simmer for 10 minutes
- Stir in the double cream and mushrooms
