Cucumber Salad Recipe

1 medium-sized cucumber.

1 ounce butter.

1/4 teaspoon salt.

1/4 teaspoon pepper.

2 tablespoons water.

A little grated nutmeg.

Sauce No. 174.



Peel and slice the cucumber (about quarter inch thick), and if not very

young remove the seeds, place the slices in a stewpan together with the

water, butter, salt and nutmeg. Simmer until tender, leaving the lid off

so as to reduce the liquor. Arrange the slices in a dish, taking care

not to break them, sprinkle with the pepper, pour over the sauce, and do

not serve until perfectly cold.
