Smashed cucumber cacik
You can whip up a plate of this Turkish classic (pronounced ‘jahjook’) in less than 10 minutes. My delicious, chunky, cucumber-heavy variation shares its roots with favourites from across the Mediterranean and Middle East, such as Balkan tarator, Greek tzatziki or Iranian mast-o-khiar. The secret to its lusciousness? A good-quality, full-fat, thick, strained yogurt - choose an authentic Greek yogurt with approximately ten per cent fat.
