Braised Cucumbers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

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.
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. Transfer cucumbers to a serving dish and season with lemon juice, mint, and black pepper.
