VEGETABLES
STEWED CUCUMBERS
Pare 6 cucumbers, cut into quarters, remove the seeds; put 1 tablespoonful of butter into a frying pan with 1 small onion sliced, fry until brown, then add the cucumbers, shake them carefully until they are a light brown, then lift them out carefully with an egg-slice; add 1 tablespoonful of flour to the butter remaining in the pan, mix until smooth, then add 1/2 pint of stock. Stir constantly until it boils, season with salt and pepper, return the cucumbers, cover and stew gently 20 minutes. Serve on squares of buttered toast.
