This version of a classic Greek mezze is a lovely dip that can be served with gigantes plaki, gyros, burgers or kebabs.
Ingredients
| 150g | Greek yoghurt |
| 1/2 | cucumber |
| 2 | garlic cloves, crushed |
| 1 tbsp | olive oil |
| 1 tsp | lemon juice |
| 1 tsp | chopped/dried mint |
| 1 tsp | chopped dried dill |
| salt and pepper, to taste |
Method
- Peel the cucumber, cut in half lengthways and de-seed using a teaspoon, then coarsely grate.
- Put the grated cucumber into a sieve suspended over a bowl, sprinkle with salt and mix through.
- Place a bowl on top of the cucumber and allow to drain for approx. 1 hour or until water stops dripping.
- Combine all the ingredients and mix thoroughly. The flavours combine better if given time, so ideally leave in a sealed container in a fridge overnight, alternatively serve immediately.
