Cucumber Gratin Recipe
What to do when there are a lot of cucumbers.. when there are fresh fruits and vegetables all year round, when there is no special need for pickles... and lots of cucumbers... What I just did... My experiments with baking stuffed cucumbers (meat, rice), frying were very successful. And then I came across a recipe for French cuisine - a gratin of cucumbers with Roquefort cheese. Those who love blue cheese should like it!
