Cooking steps

1. Peel the cucumber skin with a vegetable peeler and discard it. Then continue to remove the flesh in thin 'strips', stopping before reaching the core.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cucumbers: 500 g

2. Place the cucumber 'strips' in a colander to drain the liquid. Sprinkle some salt on the cucumbers to help draw out excess moisture.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cucumbers: 500 g
   • Salt:  to taste

3. While the cucumbers are draining in the colander, spread butter on one side of all the slices of bread. The butter should be applied in a very thin layer but cover all the pores of the bread.

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 70 g
   • Toast bread: 8 pieces

4. On half of the bread slices, lay cucumber strips in one layer, slightly overlapping to avoid gaps between them.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cucumbers: 500 g

5. Cover the sandwiches with the remaining pieces of bread, butter side down. Trim the crusts off the sandwiches with a sharp knife, then cut them into triangles by slicing diagonally twice.
