Tarator Cold Yogurt Cucumber Soup Recipe

Tarator Cold Yogurt Cucumber Soup

From richarddavies 17 years ago

Tarator is a traditional Bulgarian soup. It's served cold and is very refreshing on a hot day.

Mash the garlic with salt and then add to it grated or finely chopped cucumber.
Add these to a large bowl and pour in the yogurt.
Gradually add water - the thickness is down to taste and also depends on how flavorful the yogurt you are using is.
Add additional salt to taste.
Add finely chopped walnuts and fresh dill as well as a couple of tea spoons of oil (sunflower or olive oil is typically used).
Best if refrigerated at least two hours before serving to allow flavors to mix.
Serve chilled.

I have just came back from Bulgaria, have tried this soup and must confirm that it was absolutely delicious, refreshing and very tasty. I would definitely recommend it as a great soup for summer. Did enjoy having the walnuts in.

Yes, it should taste just fine with dry dill. In fact, when I usually make it, I don't have any dill and it still tastes very good. :)

This looks fantastic. I have everything but fresh dill, do you think dry dill will work?

A good friend of mine who is from Bulgaria gave me his recipe for this. His didn't include the nuts and oil and did include a splash of dill pickle juice. He recommends using Mountain High yogurt and I'm pretty sure he said this brand contains Bulgarian culture. YUM!!!
