I invented this recipe myself and definitely for a long time now, I have replaced the regular taratur with this version, which is much richer and, at least for me, much tastier and with a firmer structure. The preparation is simple and this taratur can replace a cream salad and you can also prepare it for more solemn occasions. I even used it in sandwiches as a spread with some ham in between.
Traditionally, taratur is made with sour cream or sour milk, cucumber and garlic.
Ingredients:
- 400 g of sour cream (20% fat)
- 300 g of ricotta
- salt as needed
- 2 cucumbers peeled and cut into small cubes
- 50 g toasted sesame
- garlic if desired (I added only 1 clove of crushed garlic for touch)
Preparation:
- While you chop the cucumbers, toast the sesame seeds on medium heat in a regular pancake pan. Stir occasionally and when sesame seeds change color, set it aside to cool.
- Mix the sour cream with the ricotta, add the cucumbers, if the ricotta is not salty, add a little salt. Finally, add the cooled toasted sesame seeds and mix well.
- Your salad is done and ready to eat. It can be further cooled before consumption.
- Goes excellent with rakija - tried!
Cheers.
