The Brown Hound Bistro

As I know that you all know how to appreciate fresh food, I have to let you know about this restaurant - I cannot stop thinking about the amazing meal I had there. The Brown Hound Bistro is serving delicious fare in a cozy ambient location tucked within the hills of South Bristol. Not only is the food amazing, but they are also dedicated to supporting the locals of the region, so if you have the opportunity you must check it out.

*dragon langerie is actually a white bean with purple splotches - when its cooked it loses this appearance. Its great for crudite or served raw on a salad to brighten the plate.

Creamy Buttered Cucumbers

INGREDIENTS:
1 pound cucumbers, peeled
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup sour cream
1 pinch dried dill weed
DIRECTIONS:
Cut cucumbers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Cut into 3/4 inch chunks. If the chunks aren't firm, place them in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let drain 20 minutes (if they are firm you may omit this step).
Place butter in a medium to large skillet over medium heat. When it melts, add the onion and cook 5 minutes. Stir in the cucumbers and cook another 5 minutes. Sprinkle with black pepper to taste.
Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream and plenty of dill. Stir and serve warm.
