Cucumber Cups with Onion and Bacon

Cucumber
4 tablespoons pureed onion
2 teaspoons Chopped chives, 2 tablespoons sour cream
Bacon pieces
Granulated garlic or fresh minced garlic
Salt to taste
Lemon juice

Cut the cucumber crosswise about 1 – 1.5 inches in length. Scoop out the center of each of the cucumber pieces to make a cup. I used a melon baller for this. Make sure your cucumber pieces are big enough to leave a base for the cups after you scoop most of the meat out, again, at least one inch.

To prepare the filling: Combine 4 tablespoons of onions with the sour cream and chives in a bowl. Start with just a little until you have the right onion to sour cream ratio you prefer. Season to taste with garlic, salt and lemon juice.Spoon the filling into the cucumber cups, top with bacon pieces. These are best chilled a bit for serving. One cucumber generally makes 8 cups.
