Ingredients
- 12oz Greek-style yoghurt
- 1 cucumber
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, grated finely
- dash of extra virgin olive oil
- paprika, for sprinkling
Method
- Peel the cucumber, scoop out its seeds, and grate the flesh coarsely on a box grater.
- Gather the grated cucumber in a muslin cloth or clean tea towel and squeeze it hard over the sink until almost no more liquid comes out.
- Tip the drained cucumber into a bowl with the Greek-style yoghurt, lemon juice and finely grated garlic, and stir the tzatziki until the cucumber is evenly distributed.
- Rest the bowl briefly so the garlic mellows into the yoghurt, then adjust the seasoning to your taste.
- Serve the tzatziki with a dash of extra virgin olive oil swirled over the top and paprika sprinkled across the surface.
