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.
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
10 – 15 minutes
This recipe takes little effort.
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 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 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.
