   2                    European cucumbers -- (about 1 3/4 lb), un
   3      tablespoons   Unsalted butter
     1/2  teaspoon      Salt
     1/4  teaspoon      Freshly ground pepper
     1/3  cup           Heavy cream

Halve the cucumbers lengthwise using a large knife.

Scrape out the seeds with a spoon and discard. Cut each half crossways into
1/4 inch slices and set aside. In a large skillet, melt the butter over
moderate heat. Add the cucumbers, salt and pepper, cover and cook, stirring
occasionally, until the cukes are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the cream
and cook until slightly reduced and thickened, about 2 minutes.
