Authentic Greek Tzatziki

Μερίδες: |  Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

ΥΛΙΚΑ 

  • 500 g strained Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat, sheep’s milk)
  • 1 large cucumber (or 2 small ones)
  • 2–3 garlic cloves (adjust to taste)
  • 3–4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1–2 tbsp white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
  • Αλάτι & φρεσκοτριμμένο πιπέρι

ΟΔΗΓΙΕΣ ΜΑΓΕΙΡΕΜΑΤΟΣ

ΒΗΜΑ 1 | Grate the cucumber (keep the peel if organic). Place it in a sieve with a pinch of salt, let it rest for 10 minutes, then squeeze out excess water using your hands or a clean kitchen towel.

ΒΗΜΑ 2 | Crush the garlic cloves with a little salt in a mortar until smooth (this gives the tzatziki a velvety consistency).

ΒΗΜΑ 3 | In a large bowl, add the yogurt. Mix in the cucumber, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, dill, salt, and pepper. Stir gently until well combined.

ΒΗΜΑ 4 | Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. Serve drizzled with extra olive oil and a sprinkle of black pepper.
