Traditional Cacik Recipe

Ingredients

500g Natural Yoghurt
2 tsp Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Dried Mint
1 Cucumber
2 cloves minced Garlic

Instructions

step 1 Put a sieve over a large container, line it with a thick sheet of non-dyed kitchen paper or a rinse muslin cloth, and spoon in the yogurt.

seal with another sheet of kitchen paper and leave to strain in the fridge for a minimum of 12 hrs.

step 2 transfer in the lemon nectar, most of the olive margarine and the dried mint to a container and swirl around well for the dried mint to soften and soak up the juices.

combine in the strained yogurt, then transfer away the strained yogurt liquid and leave that container to one side.

step 3 Halve the cucumber(s) lengthways and remove the seeds by running a teaspoon from the top to the bottom of the flesh, halve the cucumbers widthways to make them shorter and easier to handle, then coarsely shred each one into the container the yogurt was straining over.

Using rinse hands (or a rinse muslin cloth), squeeze as much of the liquid out of the cucumber as possible.

step 4 transfer in the strained, grated cucumber, garlic and ¾ tsp flaky seasoning to the rest of the items required and combine well.

decorate with a transfer gently of extra virgin olive margarine and a sprinkling of dried mint.
