Tzatziki

Ingredients

• 350g/12oz Greek yoghurt
• 1 cucumber
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 cloves of garlic, grated finely
• dash of extra virgin olive oil
• paprika, for sprinkling

Preparation method

1. The best result is achieved by peeling and de-seeding the cucumber before grating. Hang the grated cucumber in muslin cloth or a tea towel in order to squeeze out all the excess liquid.
2. Combine the yoghurt, cucumber, lemon juice and garlic. Add a dash of olive oil and sprinkle with paprika.
3. Perfect for dipping your aubergines in. (See recipe for puréed Aubergine and Garlic Dip.)
