Time 10m

Yield 1 1/2 pints, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 pint sour cream (or Greek-style super thick yoghurt)
1 English cucumber, peeled, grated on a box grater, salted lightly for 5 minutes and squeezed between the hands to remov (the long, thin, almost seedless kind)
3 garlic cloves, mashed to a paste
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill (optional)
salt

Steps:

Just mix everything up together until it is all blended and the oil has emulsified into the yoghurt/sour cream. Taste for seasoning, and add salt if you think necessary. Put in a resealable container.
Allow to 'sit' in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours before using to allow the flavors to come out.
This wonderful meze (we do not think of it as a sauce here- it is a thick 'salata') is used to counterpoint rich, bbq'd meats (like souvlaki/shish kebab), but can be used in more diverse ways.
Place a small plate full on your dinner table for people to scoop up small amounts onto their bread (preferably crisp-baked pita).
Fry up some zucchini or eggplant slices (dredge in flour and fried in olive oil) and serve with a dollop of tzatziki on top.
Use as a salad dressing.
A dip for crudites.
Note: If I have time, I often lightly salt the grated cucumber and put in a colander to drain, then squeeze out water as per usual. This eliminates even more water.

Ingredients

1 large cucumber
Salt
1 clove garlic
1 bunch fresh dill
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 to 2 lemons
2 cups whole milk Greek yogurt
Ground pepper
Pita bread, for serving

Steps:

Using a typical cheese grater, grate your cucumber. Put the grated cucumber into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of salt, stir and set aside. Mince your garlic, add a pinch of salt and smooth it into a paste. Put the minced garlic in a separate bowl.
Wash and prepare the dill by picking the leaves off the stems. Finely chop the dill and add to the same bowl as the minced garlic. Add the olive oil.
Chop the lemons in half, remove the seeds and squeeze the juice into the dill and minced garlic mixture. Stir.
Drain the juice from the grated cucumber by using a strainer or doubled-up paper towels. Combine the drained cucumber with the dill mixture. Stir. Lastly, add the yogurt and stir. Add more salt, pepper and/or lemon juice according to how you like it. Stir.
Keep the tzatziki in the refrigerator until ready to eat. Serve in a nice bowl with a side of warm pita.

ULTIMATE TZATZIKI

Ultimate Tzatziki image

Typically people think of this as a Greek food, but I learned to make it from a friend when I was an exchange student in Germany. My friend, Hossein, was from Tehran, Iran (Persia) and he liked to have tzatziki with every meal (it is a condiment served on the side). As far as I can tell, most of the countries on the eastern side of the Mediterranean Sea, and other middle eastern countries like to eat something similar to this with many of their meals. Tzatziki is a yogurt salad typically made with cucumbers, onions and garlic. At least, these are what I consider to be the essential ingredients. I have had some in restaurants that omitted the cucumbers. Eh. Not so good, in my opinion. One of the dinners I usually serve with tzatziki in my home, is grilled salmon with rice, tzatziki and diced tomatoes on the side. I don't really follow a recipe for this, but here is my approximate amount of ingredients. For yogurt, you can use full, low or non-fat but I don't like the texture of non-fat. I prefer Greek style, it's smooth, thick and creamy not like gelatin.

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup plain yogurt
1 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded, and finely diced (1/2 of a medium cucumber)
1/2 cup onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 dash lemon juice (optional)
salt (you really need salt on plain yogurt...it helps it taste a lot better)
pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried dill, crumbled between your thumb and forefinger to sprinkle over the yogurt (crumbling it helps release a bit more of the flavor)
1 teaspoon of fresh mint, finely chopped (or 4 pinches of dried mint, crumbled between thumb and forefinger, sprinkled over the yogurt)

Combine all ingredients and stir well.
Chill for at least a half hour before serving. Makes 4-5 very generous servings.
