Tzatziki

Ingredients

• 1 1/8 lbGreek yogurt, full-fat, strained
• 1cucumber, coarsely grated
• 2 clovegarlic
• 3 tbspextra virgin olive oil
• 1 tbspred wine vinegar
• 1/4 ozdill, fronds chopped
• 1 tspsea salt

Method

1. 1

   Grate the cucumber onto a clean tea towel set in a sieve, toss it with half the salt and leave it to drain over the sink.

2. 2

   Gather the tea towel into a bundle and squeeze hard, twisting until no more liquid comes. You want a dry, almost fluffy handful.

3. 3

   Crush the garlic to a smooth paste with the remaining salt, using the flat of a knife against the board.

4. 4

   Beat the yogurt with the garlic paste, the olive oil and the vinegar until it is glossy and holds a ribbon.

5. 5

   Fold through the squeezed cucumber and the dill, then cover and leave in the fridge so the garlic mellows and the flavours meet.
