MEDITERRANEAN FLAVORS: TZATZIKI RECIPE

Mediterranean Flavors: Tzatziki Recipe image

You only need to follow a recipe once or twice when making tzatziki before the process becomes almost automatic. Thick tangy yogurt; crisp, sweet cucumber; pungent garlic and dill; sunny lemon. The formula, a staging ground for countless dip platters and a condiment for the thousands of gyros dished up daily, is as familiar to us now as salsa and ketchup. And its preparation is about as intuitive-recipes matter less than solid ingredients and a willingness to dip a tasting finger along the way.

Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 pound of cucumbers, ends removed and sliced lengthwise (6 "baby" cucumbers)
2 cups of strained yogurt (Greek or otherwise)
4 cloves of garlic, minced fine
1 large handful of dill, minced
Juice of one lemon

Steps:

With a teaspoon, scoop out the seeds of the cucumbers. You should be left with a neat half-moon shape. Slice them thin, but not paper-thin-they should still have some crunch.
Add the cucumbers to a mixing bowl along with the rest of the ingredients. Taste for acid and seasoning, then either serve, or (preferably) cover and let it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours.
