These are easy enough to make, but takes some planning ahead. Great with chicken, pork, beef or just with pita bread. Note that amounts are approximate as everyone's tastes differ - I like mine with lots of cucumber. Ingredients:
375 g plain yogurt, preferably low fat but remember that the lower the fat percentage, the less tzatziki it'll make |
3/4-1 english cucumber, peeled and shredded |
1 1/2 garlic cloves, crushed |
salt |
Directions:
1. Place yogurt and shredded cucumber into separate sieves or cheese cloth, over a bowl, cover in saran wrap and leave in the fridge overnight to drain.
2. Tip: if you put something heavy on the cucumber, like a mug with water, it'll help to drain more water out.
3. The next day, mix the yogurt, cucumber, crushed garlic, and salt to taste.
4. Leave in the fridge for a few hours so flavors can blend, then taste and adjust as needed.
5. Possible additions include pepper, garlic salt and paprika, depending on what flavor you prefer.
