Bulgarian Recipe – Tarator Soup
This Bulgarian recipe is intended to serve four persons
|
Ingredients
1 large cucumber, peeled, diced, salted and drained
7.2 dl yoghurt
7.2 dl iced water or mineral water
30 ml olive oil
85 gr walnuts, crushed
3 large cloves garlic, crushed with salt
Directions
Bulgaria is the home of the yoghourt culture bacillus bulgaricus, made with lamb glands. It has acquired legendary status as a means of longevity. Home-made yoghurt would suit this recipe, though if it is already thin, dilute it with less water than given above.
Combine all the ingredients in a blender and serve chilled
