Stuffed Cucumbers
Servings
Sufficient to Serve Six
Ingredients
- 3 cucumbers
- 2 Tb. butter
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 tsp. salt
- Dash of pepper
- 1-1/2 c. steamed rice
- 1 c. stewed tomatoes
- Bread crumbs
Directions
Select medium-sized cucumbers, wash and peel them, and cut them in half lengthwise. Hollow out the center so that the cucumbers will have the shape of boats. Then melt the butter in a frying pan, add the chopped onion, salt, and pepper, and heat together for a few minutes. Next add the rice, tomatoes, and sufficient bread crumbs to take up any excess of moisture. Fill the cucumbers with this mixture and bake until they are soft enough to be easily pierced with a fork. During the first part of the cooking, pour a small amount of hot water into the pan in which the cucumbers are baked. Serve hot.
