Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

an old family recipe from my grandma

Wash and peel the cucumbers, then halve them lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds with a tablespoon and thinly slice the cucumber halves. Finely dice the onion and fry in hot oil in a casserole dish until translucent. Add the cucumber slices and sauté. Sprinkle the flour over the cucumbers and stir well, then let them brown slightly in the pan. Deglaze with white wine or vinegar and add enough water to make a sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer the cucumbers with the lid on for about 25 minutes. Finally, before serving, sprinkle with chopped fresh dill. I like to serve this with boiled potatoes and a slice of cold meatloaf.
