Creamed Cucumber

From my high school home economics book, i'd never heard of using cucumber in a cooked dish and my garden is going crazy at the moment with them so thought i'd give it a go. I think it's supposed to be a side dish but i think it's better as a sauce, i used it on top of some broccoli but i think it would be great with corned beef.

Steps

Place cucumber & carrot in a saucepan and heat slowly , simmer for 3 minutes.
Drain & retain liquid and make up to 1 / 2 cup milk.
Saute onion in butter and add flour , stir until smooth.
Add liquid slowly , stir until boiling.
Add cucumber mixture , cheese & season with pepper to taste.
Garnish with parsley to serve.
