Turkish Yogurt With Cucumbers and Herbs (Cacık) image

Cacık is a cold, crunchy, refreshing yogurt side dish that goes well with grilled meats. If you like tzatziki, you'll love making easy Turkish cacik.

Provided by Elizabeth Taviloglu

Categories     Sauce     Condiment

Time 15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

18 oz/500 g yogurt (plain)
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup cold water
2 to 3 cucumbers (peeled and finely diced)
Optional: 1 to 3 cloves garlic (finely chopped, or 1 to 2 tsp. garlic powder)
1 tsp. salt (more or less to taste)
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. oregano (dried)
Optional: 1/4 tsp. hot red pepper flakes (or sweet paprika)
Garnish: 1/4 cup dill weed (fresh, finely chopped or 1 tsp. dried dill weed)
Garnish: 1/4 cup mint leaves (fresh, finely chopped or 1/2 tsp. dried mint)

Steps:

  • First, whisk the yogurt and olive oil together to make a smooth mixture. Gradually whisk in the water until you get the consistency you want. Some prefer their 'cacık' watery while some like it thick. It's completely up to you.
  • Next add the cucumbers, garlic, and spices and mix thoroughly until smooth. Adjust the spices to your taste.
  • It is best to refrigerate your 'cacık' for a few hours before serving. Serve your ice-cold 'cacık' in small, decorative bowls. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil in the center of each one. Garnish each with a small sprig of fresh mint or dill weed.

AUTHENTIC TURKISH CACIK



Authentic Turkish Cacik image

Hi I got this recipe whilst staying in Turkey with my Dad and his friends. I make it all the time and it is a big hit in the summer at barbeques! It's different to the usual recipes where you use cucumber and mint as they tend to have a more Greek/Indian flavour to them. I sometimes use rocket in this dish but it's not necessary, however if you do, use very little ( few leaves finely chopped) as it will taste rather funky!

Provided by CarlyBug

Categories     Turkish

Time 3h10m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

250 g Greek yogurt or 250 g homemade yoghurt
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lime juice
85 watercress
2 -3 medium sized garlic cloves
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Roughly tear the watercress using your hands, if you are using rocket then finely chop and mix in with watercress,now thinly line the bottom of your dish with these leaves(casserole dishes are ideal).
  • Pour however much Greek yoghurt you would like over the watercress and using a spoon even out the yoghurt.
  • Finely chop your garlic. Personal preference as to how much use use as I am a garlic lover and I tend to overdo it but I use 2 medium sized cloves when making it for new tastebuds! Sprinle the garlic evenly over the yoghurt and using the spoon gently mix into the yoghurt layer.
  • Now sprinkle a very tiny amount of lemon and lime juice over the Cacik.
  • Finally drizzle olive oil over the Cacik and leave to settle for a few hours in the fridge.
  • Serve with Kofte, as an appetizer at barbeques or with whatever you fancy. It is also best when you use fresh bread and dip into the Cacik.
