Note

This recipe is adapted from a traditional German calendar entry.

If sheep's cheese is unavailable, feta or goat cheese are excellent substitutes.

Ensure the cucumber is a firm variety, such as a pickling cucumber or English cucumber, to hold its shape during simmering.

Serve with a good red wine as suggested in the original source.
