VANCOUVER GREEK RESTAURANT TZATZIKI



Vancouver Greek Restaurant Tzatziki image

When I moved away from Vancouver to Nebraska, and got pregnant I was DYING for Greek food! So I called one of the Greek restaurants we used to go to and begged them for the ingredients. This tastes exactly like home and authentic Greek Tzatziki from the West Coast! It's super easy to make and fabulous with steak, chicken, pita bread, wraps or whatever else you want to put it on or in.

Time 20m

Yield 40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 medium cucumber (peeled, seeded and grated or shredded)
16 ounces sour cream (light or regular, both work fine)
32 ounces plain yogurt (NOT the sugar free variety)
2 tablespoons dried dill, plus
1 teaspoon dried dill, for garnish
1 garlic clove, minced
fresh dill, can be replaced for dried just remember the flavour is more intense in dried

Steps:

  • Line a strainer with a few coffee filters or cheesecloth, and place the yogurt to drain overnight or for at least 3 hours.
  • After the yogurt has drained, peel, seed and grate the cucumber (I generally use the food processor- way faster), and squeeze it in some paper towels or cheesecloth to get rid of the excess moisture.
  • Combine all ingredients (yogurt, sour cream, dill, minced garlic), stir to mix well.
  • Put in separate containers (I usually just reuse the yogurt and sour cream containers), sprinkle with dill on top.
  • Keep refrigerated, lasts until either the yogurt or sour cream expires (whichever comes first).
  • Note the flavours will intensify somewhat, so if it's not strong enough immediately, wait until morning and you'll taste it!
  • *Note:I usually give one of the containers away to friends who also love Tzatizi, since it's hard to find where we live.

ULTIMATE TZATZIKI



Ultimate Tzatziki image

Typically people think of this as a Greek food, but I learned to make it from a friend when I was an exchange student in Germany. My friend, Hossein, was from Tehran, Iran (Persia) and he liked to have tzatziki with every meal (it is a condiment served on the side). As far as I can tell, most of the countries on the eastern side of the Mediterranean Sea, and other middle eastern countries like to eat something similar to this with many of their meals. Tzatziki is a yogurt salad typically made with cucumbers, onions and garlic. At least, these are what I consider to be the essential ingredients. I have had some in restaurants that omitted the cucumbers. Eh. Not so good, in my opinion. One of the dinners I usually serve with tzatziki in my home, is grilled salmon with rice, tzatziki and diced tomatoes on the side. I don't really follow a recipe for this, but here is my approximate amount of ingredients. For yogurt, you can use full, low or non-fat but I don't like the texture of non-fat. I prefer Greek style, it's smooth, thick and creamy not like gelatin.

Time 20m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup plain yogurt
1 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded, and finely diced (1/2 of a medium cucumber)
1/2 cup onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 dash lemon juice (optional)
salt (you really need salt on plain yogurt...it helps it taste a lot better)
pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried dill, crumbled between your thumb and forefinger to sprinkle over the yogurt (crumbling it helps release a bit more of the flavor)
1 teaspoon of fresh mint, finely chopped (or 4 pinches of dried mint, crumbled between thumb and forefinger, sprinkled over the yogurt)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients and stir well.
  • Chill for at least a half hour before serving. Makes 4-5 very generous servings.
