Tzatziki

Ingredients

• 2 medium cucumbers
• 6 cloves garlic, peeled
• Salt
• 2 lbs (4 cups) Greek-style yogurt
• 2 tbsp vinegar
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 tbsp olive oil

Preparation:

Grate the peeled cucumbers and place in a colander, weighted down with a plate for about 15 minutes, so that some of their liquid drains out. Gather up in some muslin and squeeze any remaining liquid out. Place the garlic cloves and a little salt in a mortar. Crush with the pestle until the garlic is pureed.

Put the cucumber, garlic, yogurt, vinegar and pepper into a food processor. Blend until smooth, slowly adding the oil while the blades are running. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
