A Memento

Naim Suleymanoglu who started weight lifting when he was 10, earned 2 golden medals just 5 years later. One of those medals is quite important because there is an athlete in that category who lifted three times of his weight and he is legendary as the second athlete to do that. Just one year later, he becomes the youngest record breaker of the world. He was chosen as the weight-lifter of the years 1984, 1985 and 1986.

Tip

We start by peeling the cucumbers. After we chop our peeled cucumbers into cubes, we place them in a bowl. After that, we thinly slice the dills we cleaned with a knife and add some on top of the cucumbers. We break a clove of garlic into multiple pieces and pestle it in a mortar with salt and add it to our bowl. We place the strained yoghurt with all the materials into the bowl and we enrich it with salt and black pepper. Our sauce is ready!
