Categories     appetizer

Time 19m

Yield 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound (1 pint) plain yogurt (whole milk or low fat)
1 hothouse cucumber, unpeeled and seeded
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 lemon)
1 tablespoon good olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh dill
Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the yogurt in a cheesecloth or paper towel-lined sieve and set it over a bowl. Grate the cucumber and toss it with 1 tablespoon of kosher salt; place it in another sieve, and set it over another bowl. Place both bowls in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours so the yogurt and cucumber can drain.
  • Transfer the thickened yogurt to a large bowl. Squeeze as much liquid from the cucumber as you can and add the cucumber to the yogurt. Mix in the sour cream, vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. You can serve it immediately, but I prefer to allow the tzatziki to sit in the refrigerator for a few hours for the flavors to blend. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

MY HOMEMADE TZATZIKI



My Homemade Tzatziki image

I have been making and tweaking this recipe for years. I keep it in my fridge almost constantly. It is a great dip for veggies, cracker's, chips, bread cubes and pita bread. It's terrific on chicken and roasted potatoes roasted with olive oil and rosemary. If you do not want to strain your own yogurt, you can use Greek yogurt instead, which does not require straining.

Time P1D

Yield 2 cups, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups yogurt, plain STRAINED
2 large cucumbers
1 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice, fresh
1 teaspoon mint, finely chopped
1/4 tablespoon salt
1/4 tablespoon pepper

Steps:

  • To strain your own yogurt: Put the yogurt in a thick napkin or cloth. Put it in a strainer and put the strainer over a bowl to catch the excess liquid. Refrigerate them both in a bowl over night.
  • In a small bowl, peel and grate the cucumber. Drain well.
  • To drain the cucumber you can use a strainer or you can squeeze the grated cucumber between your hands. You can also use the salt at this point to absorb the excess water from the cucumber.
  • In the same bowl add the vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Add the strained yogurt and mix well.
  • Refrigerate overnight.
