TZATZIKI

Tzatziki image

This is something I made with my Mom growing up. Truly a wonderful Greek accompaniment to many meals, especially meats, or as a dip for veggies and pita bread. Strained yogurt may be found at Greek groceries and specialty shops, or use the method listed in the steps. Adjust the amount of garlic to taste. Opa!

MY HOMEMADE TZATZIKI

My Homemade Tzatziki image

I have been making and tweaking this recipe for years. I keep it in my fridge almost constantly. It is a great dip for veggies, cracker's, chips, bread cubes and pita bread. It's terrific on chicken and roasted potatoes roasted with olive oil and rosemary. If you do not want to strain your own yogurt, you can use Greek yogurt instead, which does not require straining.

Yield 2 cups, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 cups yogurt, plain STRAINED
2 large cucumbers
1 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice, fresh
1 teaspoon mint, finely chopped
1/4 tablespoon salt
1/4 tablespoon pepper

Steps:

To strain your own yogurt: Put the yogurt in a thick napkin or cloth. Put it in a strainer and put the strainer over a bowl to catch the excess liquid. Refrigerate them both in a bowl over night.
In a small bowl, peel and grate the cucumber. Drain well.
To drain the cucumber you can use a strainer or you can squeeze the grated cucumber between your hands. You can also use the salt at this point to absorb the excess water from the cucumber.
In the same bowl add the vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
Add the strained yogurt and mix well.
Refrigerate overnight.

Add the lemon juice, minced garlic and grated cucumber. Make sure you squeeze as much liquid as possible out of the grated cucumber before adding it to the bowl (wrapping it in kitchen paper towels helps).
Store in a covered container in the fridge for a few hours before serving. This helps the garlic and lemon flavours work their way through the mixture evenly. Before you serve, taste the dip and add another pinch of salt if you wish (to your taste).
