Verrine of cucumber
« on: June 18, 2014, 06:44:55 pm »
What of a cucumber that has been forgotten a little too long in the fridge and is no more fresh? A verrine of course. Here is a recipe found on the blog of Maryse.

For 4 verrines of 125 ml each

1 cucumber
1 plain yogurt
2 sheets of gelatine
A few mint leaves
- Or basil leaves
100 g of light crème fraîche
- Or sour cream
Spices to choose:
-cumin, ginger powder, nutmeg, sweet paprika, turmeric, curry...

Soak gelatin a few minutes in cold water and then wring out it by hand. Place gelatin in the bowl of the Thermomix between 2 knife blades, pour the cream and set 90 ° C, V3, 6 minutes. Book.

Peel the cucumber, split in two and remove the seeds. Cut it out and put it in the bowl of the Thermomix with the rest of the ingredients. Program 15 sec at speed 4. Add cream to gelatin and schedule 5 s 3-speed.

Divide among 4 verrines and set aside in the fridge until set.

This is an interesting recipe Francois, it sounds nice for summer with salads. Just a few things to clarify please.

Is your cucumber a long one or one of the smaller varieties?
How many grams in your container of yoghurt?
'Book' - does this mean set aside? I presume you add it back once the cucumber has been chopped with the herbs and spices?

I imagine it would be very light and cooling.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
