Instructions

5 steps

1
Peel the cucumbers if they are waxed. Cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon, then cut into 3/4-inch chunks.

2
If the cucumbers are not super-firm, place the chunks in a colander, sprinkle with the salt, shake to distribute, and let drain about 20 minutes. Rinse and pat dry. If already firm, skip the salting and proceed.
3
Melt the butter in a medium to large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes, taking care not to let it brown.
4
Add the cucumbers and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes until just tender. Season with black pepper (and salt now if you did not salt them earlier).
5
Turn the heat to low and stir in the sour cream or yogurt along with a good handful of the dill. Stir until well blended, then serve garnished with the remaining dill.
