From our kitchenCacık – chilled yoghurt and cucumber soup
Cacık is the Turkish cousin of tzatziki, only thinner: yoghurt with grated cucumber, garlic, mint and a little cold water – as a soup or a dip.
Method
Coarsely grate the cucumber, salt lightly, leave for 5 minutes and squeeze out the liquid.
Stir the yoghurt with crushed garlic, mint and salt until smooth.
Fold in the cucumber; stir in cold water for the soup, leave it out for the dip.
Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with mint or dill and serve well chilled.
Tip from the storeCreamy süzme yoghurt and fresh dill from our chiller and vegetable section make the difference.
