When I visited Greece for the first time I immediately fell in love with the Greek cuisine even thought I am a big fan of Italian and Russian food.
So I’d like to share with you a recipe of a simple but very tasty Greek sauce, tzatziki. It is perfect when served with grilled meat, pita or flat bread.
Ingredients:
1 kg (2.2 lbs) cucumbers, peeled, seeded and grated
300 to 400 gr (0.7-0.9 lbs) of Greek yogurt
3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced finely
Fresh chopped dill to taste
Pinch of salt
Transfer the prepared cucumbers to a colander and mix it with minced garlic, salt and dill. Squeeze the extra liquid from them 2-3 time during 1 hour. Refrigerate vegetables for about 2 to 4 hours. Squeeze the extra liquid again and mix with yogurt right before serving.
