fine. Mash it up with a masher. When
you mash it, do it firmly but with
small controlled gestures, it splatters
easily. Mash as much as possible. If it
is not fully mashed, mash it up more
after its cooked.
Put cucumber in small pot. Heat it up
to a low boil, stirring frequently.
After it reaches and low boil, add the
salt. Boil the water out as much as you
can without burning. After the water is
boiled out, stir in 1/2 tablespoon and 1/4
teaspoon of the pesto mix along with the other spices and
oil. Cook for approximately 4 minutes
longer, stirring frequently.
Done. Pour over bedding of pasta or
whatever you like.
