Something easy to begin: Cucumber and potato puree recipe

Hi!! Are you ready to start developing your culinary skills? This course is cheap, light and easy to do. You can take a picture and show it to your mother. She'll see you're responsible and are eating healthy things (proven results).

Today... Cucumber and potato puree*.



Ingredients (for 2 people):

1 cucumber











1 potato (If you buy the baby potatoes, use 4)










Olive oil













Salt














One of these to make the puree (they call it "blender")




1. Boil water with some olive oil and salt.

2. Wash and peel the potato and the cucumber.

3. Cut them in medium/small pieces (that way they will be cooked quicker).

4. Add them to the water.

5. Let them boil until they are done. Add more water if it's necessary.

6. Remove the 'soup' from the heat and mash it. You can put a bit of pepper if you want.

VoilĂ ! It's done. It's usually eaten cold so put it in the fridge :)

Enjoy it!!


* You will see that I cook a lot of puree. It's easy and cheap. Other reason is that they sell big amounts of vegetables in one bag and I don't know what to do with them. Actually, I did the cucumber puree because I bought one for doing Gazpacho (I will write the recipe in future posts) and I didn't use it all. I don't like cucumber much so I added potato to make the taste lighter. The recipe isn't mine, I asked my mother, obviously xD.  After boring you all with my stories, just adding that I hope you enjoy the dish. Buen provecho!!
