Tzatziki – the Greek classic
Cucumbers, Greek yoghurt and garlic – get the summer flavour! Tzatziki goes perfectly with meat, fish, grilled vegetables or with crusty bread.
You need
- 1 organic cucumber
- 500 g Greek yoghurt (10% fat)
- 4 garlic cloves
- a squeeze of lemon juice
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- salt, pepper
- few springs of fresh dill
Step 1
An organic cucumber tastes better and it also does not have to be peeled. Rinse the cucumber briefly with lukewarm water and then dry it – that’s it.
Step 2
Cut the cucumber lenthwise and remove the core. E.g. using a fruit and vegetable corer
Step 3
Grate the cucumber with a coarse grater. If you want to, you can now wring out the grated cucumber with a tea towel. This keeps the tzatziki nice and thick.
Step 4
Finely chop the dill.
Step 5
In a bowl, mix the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, salt, pepper, chopped dill, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Peel and press the garlic or grate it very finely with an aroma grater.
Step 6
Finally, drizzle with a little olive oil and – if you have time – set aside for 30 minutes.
