Turkish Yogurt Soup- Cacik
I bought a Turkish cookbook and am starting to try recipes out at home. This was my first attempt and an amazing one at that! The recipe is for 10 people, but a little division goes a long way for smaller parties.
Ingredients:
Peel the cucumbers, cut lengthwise into 4 pieces and chop into smaller pieces from there. Mince the garlic cloves and add a strong dash of salt. Place the yogurt into a deep dish and add your garlic and cucumbers. Stir. While stirring, slowly add water. Add the olive oil to the surface before serving.
Notes: This is a perfect summer soup! If you cannot buy thick yogurt, see my post Two Things to do with Yogurt. If you let the soup sit in the fridge for a half hour before serving, more of the garlic flavor will be absorbed by the yogurt.
