Peel and dice the shallots. Clean and dice the bell pepper. Peel the cucumber, cut long, core and dice. Wash the parsley, pluck the leaves and chop finely.
Melt the butter in a pan and fry the shallots in it until translucent. Add paprika and cucumber and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Lightly salt the vegetables, reduce the heat a little, cover the pan. Steam the vegetables in this way for 2 minutes. Then pour in the cream and simmer covered for 5 minutes. Add the parsley, season with salt, cayenne pepper and paprika powder to taste.
It goes well with rosemary potatoes and fried fish.
