Instructions
Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes
Tzatziki, not Greek, with plenty of garlic, just like I learned from my mom – beware of addiction and Dracula defense
Combine the quark and yogurt and stir into the cream and milk until creamy. Peel and halve the cucumbers, if desired, and scrape out the cores. Grate the cucumber halves, place them in a sieve, and let them drain (if you’re in a hurry, add a little salt to the grated cucumber, let it soak in for a moment, and then squeeze them vigorously). After draining, squeeze them again a little and then add them to the quark and yogurt mixture. Finely chop the garlic and rub it into a paste with coarse salt and a large knife (the salt acts as a rubbing agent), then add to taste. Mix everything well and season with salt and pepper. Tzatziki tastes best when it’s been left to marinate overnight. But it’s also great fresh, of course. We eat it with grilled food, raclette, or simply with bread and cured ham. It’s also delicious simply with a piece of baguette.
