One of the best things about tutoring (I think) – in addition to really spend quality time with kids I love – is the delicious food that comes with it. I’ve posted before about the delicious treats that I get – as an added extra perk to tutoring. One of my most recent rewards (except for the delicious, delicious fried rice compliments of Mrs. Woo and Mrs. Eng) were these AWESOME cucumbers. I haven’t grown cucumbers in a few years because my vine veggies just haven’t been doing too well – and I gave up. Since I had such a banner year with my squash this summer – I think I just may go back to Cubies (as Nick and I call them) next year. But for now – I will more than happily take delicious and fresh produce from awesome families. So, with a nice quantity of cucumbers in my produce basket and a love of German cooking (my great-great grandmother was from Bavaria) – I figured I would whip up another one of Nick’s favorites. Cucumber Salad.
Heilmann Gurkensalat Recipe
Ingredients:
Cut cucumbers into thin slices, add onion, dill and place aside. Mix salt, pepper, sugar, vinegar and sour cream in a separate container. Mix sugar/vinegar mixture until sugar is completely dissolved. I like to whisk mine so it gets fluffy. Then add sugar/vinegar mixture to cucumbers. Chill for 10/15 minutes (or longer) and serve. PROST!
**Please note – I am NOT a chef – by any means of the word. However – this recipe does get the Nick Frost Stamp of Approval. AND he is, by far, the most critical food critic there is**
