Tzatziki is a classic greek-ish middle-eastern sauce. Perfect for falafel or gyros (which I should really try to make sometime…). I’m sure it’s good with a lot of other things as well…things that I’m going to have to find because I have a LOT of it now. Whatever. It’s delicious, oh darn.
Obviously when I decided to make falafel I knew I would have to make tzatziki sauce as well. I can’t really imagine eating falafel without it. It would be sacrilegious. Luckily, tzatziki sauce is ridiculously easy. The only issue I had was that my blender isn’t a food processor…so it took me a long time to liquify the cucumber, and as you can see from the picture there were still some cucumber lumps that I just couldn’t get out. Whatever, I’m ok with it.
Ingredients:
1 cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks
1 1/2 cups greek yogurt
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Chop the cucumber in a food processor until more or less liquified. Then, combine the cucumber, yogurt, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
