ENRICHED TARATUR WITH TOASTED SESAME SEEDS AND RICOTTA

I invented this recipe myself and definitely for a long time now, I have replaced the regular taratur with this version, which is much richer and, at least for me, much tastier and with a firmer structure. The preparation is simple and this taratur can replace a cream salad and you can also prepare it for more solemn occasions. I even used it in sandwiches as a spread with some ham in between.

Traditionally, taratur is made with sour cream or sour milk, cucumber and garlic.

Ingredients:

• 400 g of sour cream (20% fat)
• 300 g of ricotta
• salt as needed
• 2 cucumbers peeled and cut into small cubes
• 50 g toasted sesame
• garlic if desired (I added only 1 clove of crushed garlic for touch)

Preparation:

1. While you chop the cucumbers, toast the sesame seeds on medium heat in a regular pancake pan. Stir occasionally and when sesame seeds change color, set it aside to cool.
2. Mix the sour cream with the ricotta, add the cucumbers, if the ricotta is not salty, add a little salt. Finally, add the cooled toasted sesame seeds and mix well.
3. Your salad is done and ready to eat. It can be further cooled before consumption.
4. Goes excellent with rakija - tried!

Cheers.
