Tzatziki

Greek Yogurt and Cucumber Sauce also known as Tzatziki

Having just come back from a holiday in Corfu, I fell in love with the Tzatziki. This of course varies slightly as some people prefer to use dill instead of mint, however I loved the freshness of this particular recipe Its easy to do, however to make it just right you do need to allow plenty of time for the  preparation. 

Ingredients

Greek Yoghurt either normal or low fat

1x Lemon

1x cucumber

garlic clove x 2

fresh mint - few pieces 

sea salt

Directions

Sieve the yoghurt for 2 hours. I used doubled up kitchen roll over a jug securing with an elastic band and poured the yoghurt in it to drain for 2hrs. This is important as this will remove any unwanted water from the yoghurt and ensure your tzatziki is the right consistency.

At the same time I also peeled and de-seeded the cucumber. Then I chopped into pieces added to a sieve and sprinkled sea salt on and also left to drain over a bowl for same amount of time.

Add  cucumber, galic, salt and pepper and sprigs of mint to a blender and mix well. Add the blended mixture to the strained yoghurt and stir well. Put in fridge and leave for another 2 hours so that all the flavour blends.

Serve with crusty bread or crackers for a really healthy snack any-time day or night.
