GREEK SAUCE TZATZIKI RECIPES

Steps:

• Peel cucumbers and dice. Put them in a colander and sprinkle with the tablespoon of salt (draws water out). Cover with a plate and sit something heavy on top. Let sit for 30 minute Drain well and wipe dry with a paper towel.
• In food processor or blender, add cucumbers, garlic, lemon juice, dill and/or mint, and a few grinds of black pepper. Process until well blended, then stir into yogurt. Taste before adding any extra salt, then salt if needed. Place in refrigerator for at least two hours before serving so flavors can blend.
• This will keep for a few days in the refrigerator, but you will need to drain off any water and stir each time you use it.
• ** If you can’t find the thicker Greek Yogurt Cheese, you can use regular, plain yogurt that is either full fat or low fat. To thicken, spoon yogurt into cheese cloth that has been quadrupled. Draw the corners of the cloth up and tie together. Suspend above a bowl for 2 hours so that water can drip out. The consistency of the yogurt should be like that of sour cream.
• You can skip this draining process, if you want, but you will have a moderately messier, runnier result.

Steps:

• Combine all tzatziki sauce ingredients in bowl until well mixed. Set aside.
• Melt butter in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until sizzling. Add garlic, oregano, salt and pepper; stir until well mixed.
• Add lamb; cook 8-10 minutes or until lamb reaches at least 145ºF or desired doneness. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in lemon zest until lamb is evenly coated.
• Spread tzatziki sauce evenly onto 1 side of each flatbread. Top each with lamb; garnish with tomato and feta cheese. Fold flatbread over filling.
