Creamy Tzatziki

ingredients

• 1kg Natural Greek yoghurt
• 2 Lebanese cucumbers, grated
• 1/2 tsp olive oil
• 2-3 garlic cloves, crushed
• Salt & pepper (to taste!)

method

1. Firstly, you’ll need a bowl, a sieve and a cheesecloth (muslin).
2. Place the sieve on top of the bowl and line it with the cheesecloth. Spoon the Greek yoghurt into the sieve and let it sit overnight (or for 1-2 hours) in the fridge to draw out any excess water. This helps the consistency become creamy!
3. Grate the cucumber into another cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess water.
4. Add the strained yoghurt into a large mixing bowl with the cucumber, olive oil, crushed garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well.
5. Taste and season accordingly (might need more salt, depending on your liking)!
