TZATZIKI (YOGHURT, CUCUMBER, GARLIC AND MINT DIP)



Tzatziki (Yoghurt, Cucumber, Garlic and Mint Dip) 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!

Time 45m

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.

CUCUMBER-YOGURT DIP



Cucumber-Yogurt Dip image

A cousin to Greek tzatziki, Ana Sortun's easy-to-make Turkish cucumber-yogurt dip includes a twist: dried mint. Serve with crackers and veggies as an appetizer, or (our favorite) dollop it on crispy potato latkes.

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon lemon juice
kosher salt
3/4 cup English cucumber
2 scallions
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon dried mint
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut the garlic clove in half and place the halves at the edge of the cutting board. Use the dull side of your chef's knife to cut the garlic almost to a mash, then use the sharp side to mince it. Put the garlic and lemon juice in a small bowl along with a pinch of salt to remove the raw taste from the garlic and lightly pickle it.
  • Chop the cucumber, scallions, and parsley and add them to the garlic.
  • Finish by mixing in the yogurt, dried mint, and olive oil. Season with salt and serve with crudités, pita, or latkes.

CUCUMBER RAITA



Cucumber Raita image

Serve this cool, refreshing salad with my Lamb Tagine and Moroccan Couscous on this site. Make the salad early in the day and keep in the refrigerator to let the flavors blend and intensify. Add more mint to taste, but do not substitute dried mint; the flavor is just not the same.

CUCUMBER YOGURT DIP



Cucumber Yogurt Dip image

I can not get enough of this recipe for this cucumber-yogurt dip/sauce. Works well on roasted meats, in wraps, on rice, as a dip with vegetables or pita (or just baguette) on a spoon.... I used it on my curried chicken and rice recipe and it added a little coolness to the spices.

Time 2h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces plain yogurt, drained
1/2 lemon, juice of
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1/2 cucumber, seeded and chopped fine
1 teaspoon dried dill
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • to drain the yogurt, line a mesh colandar with cheesecloth or a coffee filter and hang over a bowl. Let the yogurt drain at least an hour or two, but no big deal if it is easier for you the night before. If that is the case, make sure to cover the top and leave it in the fridge.
  • This can be skipped if you can get your hands on real Greek yogurt, which is thicker than most commerical brands.
  • Place the now thickened yorgurt to a bowl and add the other ingredients. Best if it sits for a bit to let the flavors combine, but with me, it is likely that it will get eaten long before.
  • You may keep leftovers in the fridge, but I find the raw garlic can get a bit intense upon sitting. Not that that is a bad thing, but consider yourself warned.
