FRIED CUCUMBERS
My husband isn't crazy about fried green tomatoes, but he loves these. This is a different and easy way to use up all the cucumbers in the garden! They can be dipped in ranch dressing, horseradish sauce, or salsa.

Steps:
- Mix the flour, seasoning, salt and pepper on a sheet of wax paper. Line a large baking sheet or tray with wax paper.
- Working with one fillet at a time, place it skin side down in the flour mixture to coat one side only; press the top so that the mixture adheres. Shake off the excess and place each fillet, floured side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Discard any remaining flour mixture.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add fillets, floured side down. Reduce the heat to medium; cover and cook just until the fillets are opaque in the center, about 4-6 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
Tips:
- Use a mandoline slicer to get evenly sliced cucumbers.
- Soak the cucumber slices in ice water for at least 30 minutes before frying. This will help to remove some of the bitterness.
- Use a light coating of flour on the cucumber slices before frying. This will help them to brown evenly.
- Fry the cucumber slices in a single layer in a large skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the cucumbers will not cook evenly.
- Cook the cucumber slices over medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the fried cucumbers immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Fried cucumbers are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up extra cucumbers, and they are also a healthy and refreshing snack. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy cucumbers, give this recipe a try.
