Summer ended but I still believe we have some hot days ahead... In 5 months ;) This soup makes great lunch for a sunny, warm day. Can be even taken for a picnic in small jars. The recipe is used in my family for years and comes from Balcans. Tarator is really easy to prepare!

1. Mix the yoghurt with olive oil. Add some water to have more soup-alike consistency. Put in a vase or a bowl.

2. Add peeled cucumber, cut in small cubes.

3. Mince or crush the garlic. Add to yoghurt.

4. Add chopped dill.

5. Stir everything, add salt & pepper as you wish. 

6. Leave in the fridge for at least 3 hours. Serve cold.

Smacznego! :)

Polish cuisine is, in fact, international. This recipe comes from Lithuania. Cold beetroot soup is also called cold borscht. It's perfect when you want something refreshing for lunch - and really healthy because of all the iron in beetroots.

10 young beetroots

some beet leaves

fresh dill

4 cloves of garlic

4 big cucumbers

1 l fresh yoghurt, natural

4 eggs, boiled

salt & white pepper

Good tip: you may wear silicone gloves from now if you don't want to look like lady Macbeth...

1. Peel the beetroots. Cut them in halves. 

2. Chop the beet stalks.

3. Put the beetroots and stalks in a pan, cover with water and boil until they're tender (about 10 minutes).

4. Chop the dill.

5. Mince or crush the garlic.

6. Put the yoghurt into a big vase. Add garlic and dill. Stir.

7. Add peeled cucumber, cut in small cubes.

8. Add everything you had in a pan, including the red water. 

9. Stir everything, add salt & pepper as you wish. 

10. Serve cold with boiled eggs cut in halves.
