Authentic Turkish Cacik
Ingredients
Instructions
- 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.
