Tzatziki à la Panaiotis

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1 kg yogurt, preferably Greek or mixed with sheep cheese yogurt
• 1 cucumber(s)
• 6 cloves garlic
• some dill
• 5 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp vinegar
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 3 hours; Total time approx. 3 hours 15 minutes

Peel the cucumber and cut into small pieces. Press the cucumber pieces firmly in a paper towel until no more water comes out. Place the cucumber in a bowl with the crushed garlic cloves, add the washed and finely chopped dill, salt, vinegar, oil, and yogurt, and mix thoroughly. The tzatziki needs to sit in the refrigerator for a few hours. I like it best with baguette and black olives. I got the recipe from a Greek man living in France, and tzatziki is a staple at every barbecue at our house.
