I'm Greek and my husband's Sicilian, so we use plenty of garlic in our cooking. We typically serve this traditional Tzatziki with lamb and chicken. Ingredients:
4 cups (32 ounces) plain yogurt |
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and grated |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup white vinegar |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
Directions:
1. Line a fine mesh strainer with two layers of cheesecloth. Place yogurt in strainer over a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.
2. Drain and discard liquid in bowl; set yogurt aside. Place cucumber in a colander over a plate; sprinkle with salt. Let stand for 15 minutes; discard liquid.
3. In a small bowl, whisk oil and vinegar until blended. Stir in the garlic, yogurt and cucumber. Yield: About 2-1/2 cups.
