METHOD

• Peel the cucumbers. Cut them in half lengthways, scrape out and discard the seeds. Cut the cucumber halves into 1 inch pieces.

• Heat some olive oil in a heavy pan, sauté the onions until transparent. Add the tomatoes, cucumbers, salt, pepper and sugar.

• Simmer gently for half an hour. You may need to add the occasional tablespoon of water to stop it burning.

• Serve hot.
