I'm not sure you can completely recreate the taste since the yoghurt you get in
this country doesn't have the same sweet taste. However, this recipe makes a
decent approximation. This one has a lot of garlic. Vary to suit your taste.
TZAZIKI
1 quart plain yoghurt
4 cloves garlic
olive oil
1 tbsp white vinegar
2 cucumbers
Drain yoghurt. I do this by lining a strainer with cheesecloth and suspending
it over a bowl for about 1 hour. Coffee filters work as well as cheesecloth.
Peel and seed cucumbers. Grate them, or mince in a food processor.
Salt them and drain for 30 minutes (same as yoghurt: put them in cheesecloth
lined strainer). Squeeze out any excess liquid.
In a medium bowl place crushed garlic. Whisk in olive oil till you have a
thick paste, i think I use about 2-3 tbsp. Whisk in the vinegar. Mix in the
yoghurt and cucumber. Refrigerate for at least an hour so flavors will meld.
