Here is the recipe I have been using to make this delightfully tasting
appetizer (I usually use it as a dip with small wedges of pita bread):
Ingredients:
----------------------------------------------------------
4 cups fresh yogurt, unflavored
1 medium cucumber, peeled and coarsely grated
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried dillweed
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
additional olive oil for garnish
----------------------------------------------------------
Place a piece of cheesecloth in a colander and pour in the yogurt. Allow the
yogurt to drain for several hours.
Place the grated cucumber in another colander and allow to drain for 2 hours.
Mix together all ingredients exept the additional olive oil and chill. Place
in serving dishes and drizzle additional olive oil on top. Serve as a spread
for bread or as a dip for vegetables. This is generally served as a first
course.
Note: Store this dish covered in the refrigerator and it will keep well for 2
or 3 days.
