Do you like a Tzatziki sauce? Well, imagine it is a soup, I mean really
cold soup. Balkan countries prepare it
for hundreds of years; it is really refreshing when it’s 100 F outside. I
prepare it every summer
So, what do you need?
2 large cucumbers or 1 English cucumber
1 can of yoghurt
3-4 stems of dill
1 clove of garlic
Walnuts (you will be adding them in the end, so it’s up to
you how much)
1 oz. of ether olive, vegetable oil, but the best sunflower
oil (this is what I use)
Ice cold water
Salt
Sweet paprika - you can do without it, but it counter -acts the
sourness of the yoghurt if you add it in
Clean the cucumbers from skin and seeds, you can ether slice
them really fine or grind them to little pc's.
Cut the dill really fine
Chop the clove of garlic, if you can do almost paste like –
the best
Mix cucumber, salt, oil, garlic and dill
Mix yoghurt with ice water 3:1, mix really well until smooth
Add the mixture of cucumber, oil, garlic, dill and salt, mix
well.
Check for salt
Put in refrigerator overnight. If you do not have time to
cool it overnight, just reduce cold water and add some crushed ice to it, it will
melt into yoghurt and make it cold
Before serving, mix one more time until it’s smooth.
Serve in a dish the way it is, but you can add crushed walnut
and sweet paprika in moderation
