GLAZED CUCUMBERS WITH DILL



Glazed Cucumbers with Dill image

Cucumbers with salty butter and dill make pretty sandwiches, but we like to cook them very gently for a warm, silky salad. Using garden cucumbers requires just a little prep: we remove the tough peel and scrape out the seeds, which can be watery. If you have some chopped parsley on hand, fold it in with the dill.
