HISTORY OF TZATZIKI
Tzatziki, also known as tarator or cacIk, is a dip, soup, or sauce popular in Southeast European and Middle Eastern cuisines. It's created with salted strained yoghurt or diluted yoghurt, cucumbers, garlic, salt, olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice, and herbs including dill, mint, parsley, and thyme. It is eaten cold as a meze, as a side dish, and as a sauce for souvlaki and gyros sandwiches, among other things.
Tzatziki first arose in English about the mid-twentieth century as a loanword from Modern Greek, which stems from the Turkish word cack. The root is most likely connected to a number of terms found in Western Asian languages. Zhazh in Persian refers to several herbs used in cuisine. It might be linked to the Armenian term cacg. According to Sevan Nişanyan, the Armenian term may have originated in Turkish or Kurdish.
Tarator was the name given to an Ottoman meal comprised of crushed walnuts and vinegar. The term was given to dishes of diverse preparations in the region, including dips, salads, and sauces. Taratur is a tahini-based sauce in the Levant, while it grew to imply a mix of yoghurt and cucumbers, occasionally with walnuts, in Turkey and the Balkans. It has become a staple of meze.
TZATZIKI STYLE IN EVERY COUNTRY
GREEK
Tzatziki sauce in the Greek cuisine is frequently served as a meze, to be eaten with bread, fried eggplant, or zucchini.
Tzatziki is created from strained yoghurt (typically produced from sheep or goat milk), cucumbers, garlic, salt, olive oil, and occasionally lemon juice, as well as dill, mint, or parsley.
TURKEY
Turkish cack is produced by blending a little amount of water and yoghurt in a large mixing bowl with garlic and various combinations of fresh vegetables and herbs.
Before garnishing with aleppo pepper, paprika, sumac, or mint, the smashed garlic, yoghurt, and cucumber are completely mixed. It is extremely popular throughout the warmer months and can be served with ice if desired.
BALKANS
Tarator may be found in a number of Balkan nations. It is commonly served as a cold soup in the summer. It's created with yoghurt, cucumber, garlic, walnuts, dill, vegetable oil, and water, and it's best served cold or with ice. Local variations may replace yogurt with water and vinegar, omit nuts or dill, or add bread. The cucumbers may on rare occasions be replaced with lettuce or carrots.
CYPRUS
In Cyprus, the dish is known as "ταλαττούρι" (talattouri)[34] and is similar to the Greek recipe with a more characteristic flavour of mint and added acidity in the form of lemon juice
MIDDLE EAST
In Iraq, jajeek is often served as meze.[7] It may accompany alcoholic drinks, especially Arak, an Ouzo-like drink made from dates. In Iran it is known as mast o khiar
RECIPE FOR ORIGINAL GREEK TZATZIKI
STEP 1
Remove the peel and seeds from the cucumber and shred it into a big bowl to make this authentic Greek tzatziki sauce recipe. Season with salt and pepper and let aside for 10 minutes.
STEP 2
Wrap the shredded cucumber in a towel and compress to remove excess water.
STEP 3
Make the tzatziki sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine the cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, yoghurt, 1-2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, and a sprinkle of salt, and blend until well blended. Refrigerate the tzatziki sauce and serve it cool. (Alternatively, if you have a blender, mix the olive oil and garlic in it.) Then, using a spoon, combine the remaining ingredients. This will aid in the garlic's mixing with the rest of the ingredients).
STEP 4
This classic tzatziki sauce may be served as a dip with warm pita flatbread or as a sauce for Greek-style souvlaki.
