Provided by Ana Sortun

Categories     condiment

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon lemon juice
kosher salt
3/4 cup English cucumber
2 scallions
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon dried mint
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut the garlic clove in half and place the halves at the edge of the cutting board. Use the dull side of your chef's knife to cut the garlic almost to a mash, then use the sharp side to mince it. Put the garlic and lemon juice in a small bowl along with a pinch of salt to remove the raw taste from the garlic and lightly pickle it.
  • Chop the cucumber, scallions, and parsley and add them to the garlic.
  • Finish by mixing in the yogurt, dried mint, and olive oil. Season with salt and serve with crudités, pita, or latkes.

CUCUMBER YOGURT DIP



Cucumber Yogurt Dip image

I can not get enough of this recipe for this cucumber-yogurt dip/sauce. Works well on roasted meats, in wraps, on rice, as a dip with vegetables or pita (or just baguette) on a spoon.... I used it on my curried chicken and rice recipe and it added a little coolness to the spices.

Time 2h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces plain yogurt, drained
1/2 lemon, juice of
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1/2 cucumber, seeded and chopped fine
1 teaspoon dried dill
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • to drain the yogurt, line a mesh colandar with cheesecloth or a coffee filter and hang over a bowl. Let the yogurt drain at least an hour or two, but no big deal if it is easier for you the night before. If that is the case, make sure to cover the top and leave it in the fridge.
  • This can be skipped if you can get your hands on real Greek yogurt, which is thicker than most commerical brands.
  • Place the now thickened yorgurt to a bowl and add the other ingredients. Best if it sits for a bit to let the flavors combine, but with me, it is likely that it will get eaten long before.
  • You may keep leftovers in the fridge, but I find the raw garlic can get a bit intense upon sitting. Not that that is a bad thing, but consider yourself warned.
