TZATZIKI (YOGHURT, CUCUMBER, GARLIC AND MINT DIP) RECIPE ...



Tzatziki (Yoghurt, Cucumber, Garlic and Mint Dip) Recipe ... image

THIS is how tzatziki should be. NO ONIONS! I've never had tzatziki with onions before but notice that most of the recipes on here seem to include them?! This is simple, delicious and exactly as authentic Greek tzatziki should be. I make this with virtually fat free greek yoghurt and about half the oil and it still comes out beautifully. Keeps in the fridge for 2-3 days, however I suggest you make it the evening before you want it because leaving it overnight really allows the flavours to infuse. Yummy!

Total Time 45 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 garlic cloves (finely minced)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 small cucumber
1 teaspoon salt
600 g thick plain Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons dried mint

Steps:

  • Put the garlic, lemon juice and olive oil in a small bowl and leave to one side.
  • Peel alternate strips of skin from the cucumber (ie. peel a strip, miss a strip) and grate coarsely.
  • Place the cucumber in a sieve and sprinkle with salt.
  • Leave for approximately 30 mins to allow the water to drip away. Squash any remaining juice out of the shredded cucumber.
  • Put the yogurt and mint in a bowl. Mix well.
  • Add the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and drained cucumber, and season well with black pepper.
  • Mix well and taste for salt before serving.

AUTHENTIC GREEK TZATZIKI RECIPE | ALLRECIPES
This is a lovely, cool, refreshing Greek tzatziki dip that I first tasted and fell in love with in the Greek Islands. It is lovely with hot toasted pita bread and veggies or lamb kebabs! The key is strain the liquid from the cucumber very well so the dip stays creamy and not watery and to always use thick, full-fat Greek yogurt. Low-fat versions won't cut it. Enjoy!

Strain out as much liquid as possible by pressing down in the sieve with the palm of your hand. Alternately you can wring cucumber out in a clean tea towel. Add cucumber and yogurt to the garlic mixture. Mix until well combined and season with salt to taste.

TZATZIKI - RECIPES AND COOKING TIPS - BBC GOOD FOOD
A classic meze consisting of Greek yoghurt, cucumber, garlic and mint. There are many variants of this recipe, this is my take on it. Tzatziki makes a very nice condiment for gyros or kebabs. It goes very well with pork or lamb. It's also very nice served as a dip with pita bread triangles.

  • If Greek yoghurt is not available then you can make your own Greek style from plain yoghurt by suspending a sieve lined with cheesecloth over a bowl, adding the yoghurt and allowing it to drain for 2-3 hours, or longer if thicker yoghurt is preferred, in a refrigerator. A paper coffee filter can be used as an alternative to a cheesecloth, following the above method.
