TARATUR

Taratur is a traditional Macedonian meal, usually served as an appetizer or salad. It generally includes yogurt, fermented milk or sour cream, cucumbers and garlic. I usually prepare it with sour cream. The following recipe is for 4 people.




Ingredients:

•  2 cucumbers
•  500 g sour cream, fermented milk or for more liquid version-yogurt
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 cloves fresh garlic
• 50 g nuts (optional)
• 10-20 g olive oil (optional)
• parsley (for decoration, optional)

Preparation:

1. Wash cucumbers, then peel. Chop them finely. Put them in a bowl and add salt.
2. Pour sour cream (yogurt) and add chopped garlic. Mix well. I add olive oil on top.
3. Add oil and crushed nuts optionally. Put the mixture into a large serving bowl. Decorate with parsley.

Serve cold. Combine with Macedonian rakija :)
