Preparation steps

Peel cucumber and cut in half lengthwise. Scrape out seeds with a spoon. Peel and finely chop onion. Cook onion in oil until translucent. Add ground meat and cook, breaking it up until crumbly. Rinse tomatoes, quarter and puree. Add approximately 100 grams (approximately 3 1/2 ounces) of the tomatoes, along with herbs, to ground meat. Season with salt and pepper. Fill cucumber halves with mixture.

Add remaining tomatoes to an oiled roasting pan. Season with salt and cayenne pepper. Put in stuffed cucumber halves.

Cover and simmer over low heat until the cucumbers are soft, about 30 minutes. Stir cream into the sauce. Serve cucumbers with sauce and garnish with basil.
