Instructions
- Start by preparing the vegetables. Peel and cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Wash the cucumbers and slice them into thin rounds.
- Place the potato cubes in a pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside.
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced cucumbers to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Season with a pinch of salt.
- Cook the cucumber mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cucumbers are slightly softened but still retain some crunch.
- Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the cucumber mixture and stir gently to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the vegan yoghurt and vegan sour cream to the skillet. Stir carefully to coat all the vegetables with the creamy mixture.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently heat through, stirring occasionally, for about 2-3 minutes until everything is warm and well combined.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the warm creamy cucumbers immediately as a side dish or light main course.
- This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of plant-based milk if needed to loosen the sauce.
