Braised cucumbers with sausages and parsley potatoes

Fry the bacon and onions together in a little oil until the onions are translucent. In the meantime, peel the cucumbers, halve them, and remove the seeds. Then slice the cucumber. Dice if you prefer them smaller. Add the cucumbers to the bacon and onions and sauté them as well. In the meantime, halve the sausages and slice them, then add them to the pot. Cut the gherkins and canned tomatoes into fairly small pieces and add them to the pot. Season everything to taste with a little of the pickle juice from the gherkins and the granulated stock. I always add a little sugar and garlic, but that’s a matter of taste. Simmer everything together for about 10 minutes. Boil the potatoes in their jackets or boiled potatoes and serve sprinkled with the chopped parsley.
