Tarator · Plovdiv
Tarator is the Bulgarian cold yoghurt soup with cucumber, walnut, dill, garlic and a splash of sunflower oil. The summer staple from June through September.
Tarator's roots are Persian via Ottoman Turkey, where the dish was originally a yoghurt sauce. Bulgaria's contribution was thinning it into a soup and folding in cucumber and walnut. Today it is one of the most recognisable Bulgarian dishes, served chilled to start summer meals from June through September across Plovdiv's tavernas and family tables.
