Instructions:

For the polenta package with cucumber mesh, first prepare the polenta. To do this, boil water with a little salt, stir in the polenta and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Fold in the butter and pour the cooked polenta into a rectangular dish of your choice, such as a plastic dish. Let cool.

Meanwhile, prepare the cucumber strips. Wash the cucumber and peel all around with a peeler (wide strips if possible!). While doing this, prepare both the peel and strips of the inside of the cucumber (without seeds) for the polenta packet, cutting some of the strips in half lengthwise.

Turn the polenta out onto a plate. Place two strips of the inside of the cucumber crosswise on top of the polenta, then place two thin strips of the cucumber peel over each of the first cucumber strips. Form small loops from the remaining strips and place all around on top of the polenta, creating a gift mesh. Secure with one or more toothpicks. As a final step, shape a small strip of cucumber into a roll and place on the gift mesh.

Refrigerate the finished polenta packet with cucumber mesh or serve immediately.
