TARATOR - BULGARIAN COLD CUCUMBER SOUP



Tarator - Bulgarian Cold Cucumber Soup image

This cold soup is among Bulgarians favorite foods for the summer. It is served as a first course instead of a salad or between meals as refreshment. You might even see it served in a glass. Most men here say it goes great with a glass of cold rakiya (Bulgarian grape or fruit brandy) or Ouzo.

Time 20m

Yield 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cucumbers (about 500 g or 1 lb)
500 g plain yogurt (1 lb)
3 -4 garlic cloves
2 -3 tablespoons of crushed walnuts (optional)
1 bunch fresh dill
oil
salt
water (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut the cucumbers into cubes and put them in a bowl. You may aslo grate them but it changes the look and the consistency.
  • Beat the yogurt with a fork until it gets liquid and pour it over the cucumbers.
  • Add the crushed garlic, the walnuts and the minced dill as well as salt and oil to taste.
  • If needed add some water to make the soup as liquid as you like but take care not to make it too "thin".

BULGARIAN CUCUMBER SOUP WITH WALNUTS



Bulgarian Cucumber Soup With Walnuts image

Walnuts are used in sweet and savory dishes throughout the Mediterranean. Along the Italian Riviera, a rich ricotta and walnut sauce traditionally is served with ravioli filled with greens. In Turkey, a thick, garlicky walnut sauce called tarator is served with cooked vegetables, much as aïoli is in the South of France. In France, walnuts are added to salads, breads and many desserts, and they are eaten fresh as well as dried - a great delicacy in the fall, just after the harvest. I've never encountered creamy, fresh walnuts in American farmers' markets, but if you know a walnut farmer, perhaps you could request some the next time they're harvested. Before the weather becomes too chilly for cold soups, try this one. Bulgaria once was well known for the number of centenarians in its population, which some scientists attributed to the daily consumption of Bulgarian yogurt. Now, both the yogurt and eating culture in this mountainous country have changed for the worse, and so have local lifespans.

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 to 4 garlic cloves to taste, peeled, green shoots removed
Salt to taste
2 cups thick plain yogurt (Greek style, or drained)
2 tablespoons walnut or olive oil, or 1 tablespoon each
2/3 cup (2 ounces) shelled walnuts, finely chopped
1 European cucumber, about 10 inches long, or 3 Persian cucumbers, cut in very small dice
1/2 cup ice-cold water, preferably spring water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Freshly ground pepper
Ice cubes (optional)
Finely chopped walnuts
Extra virgin olive oil
Finely chopped fresh dill or mint

Steps:

  • Place the garlic in a mortar with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and mash to a paste.
  • Place the yogurt in a large bowl. Stir in the oil, garlic and walnuts. Whisk in the water and the lemon juice. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Chill for one hour or longer.
  • Meanwhile, season the cucumbers lightly with salt, and allow to drain in a colander for 15 minutes. Add to the yogurt mixture and stir together.
  • If you wish, place an ice cube in each bowl, and ladle in the soup. Top with chopped walnuts, a drizzle of olive oil if desired, and a sprinkling of dill or mint.
