TZAZIKI - Greek Yougurt Cucumber Sauce

 

2 cups plain full fat yogurt (high quality without

gums and thickeners)

2 teaspoons creamed very fresh garlic

1 teaspoon sea salt

2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and grated on large holes

of grater

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 teaspoons olive oil

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

 

 

 

 

 

Drain yogurt for 1 hour in a cheese-cloth lined

strainer to remove some of its water. In a bowl,

combine the yogurt, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt over the

grated cucumber and drain, 10 to15 minutes, to extract

excess water. Add drained cucumber to yogurt, along

with pepper, and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until

chilled, about 1 hour. Drizzle with olive oil and

garnish with mint leaves. Serve with pita crisps or

grilled [favorites].

 

Yield: 2 1/2 cups
