A Quick Tzatziki

Cucumbers, Vasily Belikov (1980)

One of my top 3 dips, and delicious with tortilla

chips, harissa roasted meat or vegetables or in a wrap.

Here’s a very quick recipe for tzatziki.

Ingredients:

Natural yoghurt

Clove of garlic

Mint leaves

Half a cucumber

Lemon

Salt & pepper

Method:

• step into the kitchen !

• Slice your cucumber in half and scoop out the middle with a little spoon

• Grate the cucumber into a sieve over a bowl

• Add a bit of salt ontop of the cucumber and stir

• Leave to one side

• Get a nice bowl to serve the tzatziki in, grate a clove of garlic into the bowl

• Add a few dollops of yoghurt and stir

• Chop the mint and add to the yoghurt

• Squeeze in the lemon and taste, ensuring it’s got a nice tang

• Squeeze out your cucumber, pushing into the sieve. (Note! Keep the cucumber juice from the bowl, it’s pretty yummy over ice and sparkling water with some lemon juice!)

• Add the grated cucumber to the yoghurt

• Enjoy!
