Creamy Buttered Cucumbers

1 pound cucumbers, peeled

1 tablespoon salt

2 tablespoons butter

½ cup chopped onion

ground black pepper to taste

½ cup sour cream

1 pinch dried dill weed

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.
