TARATOR - BULGARIAN COLD CUCUMBER SOUP



Tarator - Bulgarian Cold Cucumber Soup image

This cold soup is among Bulgarians favorite foods for the summer. It is served as a first course instead of a salad or between meals as refreshment. You might even see it served in a glass. Most men here say it goes great with a glass of cold rakiya (Bulgarian grape or fruit brandy) or Ouzo.

TARATOR: BULGARIAN COLD CUCUMBER SOUP



Tarator: Bulgarian Cold Cucumber Soup image

Another delight of summer: Cucumbers! Adapted from my weathered copy of Joy of Cooking. If using organic cucumbers there is no need to peel unless preferred. Store bought conventional cucumbers usually have a wax coating which warrants peeling. Note: I always use full fat dairy products. I cannot guarantee good results with...

Time 6h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 c cucumber, seeded and pared ( i pared the cucumbers in a stripe fashion retaining some of the peel)
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/4-1/2 c raw walnuts
2 Tbsp good quality extra virgin olive oil + more for drizzling
1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped
2 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped + more for garnish

vegetable broth or milk, to thin (if needed)

Steps:

  • 1. Place all ingredients (except for milk/broth) in a blender or food processor and BLEND until smooth. If desired, use the PULSE setting. If the mixture seems to thick, thin with a little bit of vegetable stock or whole milk a few tablespoons at a time and to desired consistency.
  • 2. Store in a glass container and cover. Refrigerate at least 3 hours but better 6 hours or overnight.
  • 3. To SERVE: place an ice cube in each soup bowl or mug. Pour the soup into the bowl and garnish with a little bit of fresh dill and a light drizzle of olive oil.

BULGARIAN CUCUMBER SOUP WITH WALNUTS



Bulgarian Cucumber Soup With Walnuts image

Walnuts are used in sweet and savory dishes throughout the Mediterranean. Along the Italian Riviera, a rich ricotta and walnut sauce traditionally is served with ravioli filled with greens. In Turkey, a thick, garlicky walnut sauce called tarator is served with cooked vegetables, much as aïoli is in the South of France. In France, walnuts are added to salads, breads and many desserts, and they are eaten fresh as well as dried - a great delicacy in the fall, just after the harvest. I've never encountered creamy, fresh walnuts in American farmers' markets, but if you know a walnut farmer, perhaps you could request some the next time they're harvested. Before the weather becomes too chilly for cold soups, try this one. Bulgaria once was well known for the number of centenarians in its population, which some scientists attributed to the daily consumption of Bulgarian yogurt. Now, both the yogurt and eating culture in this mountainous country have changed for the worse, and so have local lifespans.
