Posted by : Ruth Heiges Cucumber Soup, Cold: Tarator - dairy
One more great use for sour cream is to make a cold cucumber soup ("tarator"). I usually make it with plain yogurt, but have also used sour cream and yogurt in combination. A low- fat yogurt will cut down on the overall fat content. As the spirit moves you, and according to your own palate, the basic ingredients are: sour cream and/or plain yogurt grated or rough-diced cucumbers fresh dillweed, snipped several cloves of garlic, pressed a splash of olive oil salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste After all is mixed, thin with milk, if necessary. optional garnishes: snipped chives snipped scallion (green onion/spring onion) greens mint leaves walnut meats halved, seedless green grapes drizzled olive oil
