Ingredients

  • 3 large cucumbers – peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch chunks
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 0.5 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 0.5 teaspoon crushed dried mint
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps

  1. Place cucumbers in a shallow baking dish and sprinkle kosher salt over the top; toss to coat and let rest, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Drain cucumbers and discard any accumulated liquid.
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir cucumbers in hot butter until cucumbers are heated through and color starts to change, 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Transfer cucumbers to a serving dish; season with lemon juice, mint, and black pepper.
