Tarator

Ingredients

• 500 g plain yogurt
• 2 pieces cucumbers
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 50 g walnuts, finely chopped
• 3 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 2 tbsp sunflower oil
• 200 ml cold water
• 1 tsp salt

Steps

1. 1
   Dice the cucumbers finely, or grate them on the coarse side of a box grater.
2. 2
   Crush the garlic with the salt to a paste using the flat of a knife.
3. 3
   Whisk the yogurt smooth, then whisk in the cold water a little at a time until it pours like thin cream.
4. 4
   Stir in the cucumber, garlic paste, walnuts and dill.
5. 5
   Whisk in the oil last — it should emulsify rather than float.
6. 6
   Chill at least 1 hour. Serve very cold, with an ice cube in each bowl and extra dill on top.
