The first thing to say about this recipe is that it tastes much better than it looks! It's also a great recipe for using up [[cucumbers]] if you grow them at home, as we do.

This is an interesting [[Vegetarian|vegetarian]] [[Mushroom|mushroom]] [[Sauce|sauce]] that is nice poured over [[Vegetables|vegetables]] and especially [[hard-boiled eggs]].
