Summary
DescriptionWhen it is hot out there, try this Turkish cooling soup called cacik. It's a perfect use for all those great local cukes that flood the market in the summer. While this is a simple recipe to prepare, keep in mind the overnight straining of the yogurt which helps in the smooth consistency of the soup. Ingredients
InstructionsThe night before, strain yogurt through a cheese cloth–lined strainer set over a bowl in the refrigerator, letting it drip off all the water. Pulse cucumbers, oil, onion, chili, garlic, and herbs in a food processor or large blender. Do not over-mix. When pureed, stir into a work bowl and whisk in the yogurt. Season with salt and pepper and whisk in the stock, drizzling to achieve the desired consistency. Refrigerate and serve chilled anytime within 12 hours, seasoning again with salt, pepper and fresh lime juice.
