Sautée 1 teaspoon chopped onion lightly in 3 tablespoons butter. Wash, peel and cut into 1/4 inch slices 3 medium cucumbers. Dry the slices and sprinkle them with seasoned flour. Sautée them in the butter with the onion for 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown on both sides. Sprinkle with finely chopped parsley and serve at once.



This exclusive recipe is pulled directly from Gourmet's archive. It has not been re-tested by our food editors since it was published in the magazine, but it's a pretty good indication of the kinds of things we once cooked—and ate—with great pleasure.
