Tzatziki
The perfect tzatziki recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
- 200 g Greek yogurt 10% fat
- 100 ml Cream 30% fat
- 100 g Quark
- 1 piece Cucumber
- 1 tsp Dill (fresh or freeze-dried)
- 0,5 tsp Roshni chili powder
- 1 tsp Amchur powder
- Phu Quoc pepper
- Salt
- 1 piece Clove of garlic (optional)
- 1 tsp Chives (for garnish)
- First mix the yoghurt, quark and cream in a bowl until the desired consistency is achieved – if it is too firm, just add a little cream, if it is too runny add a little quark.
- Now cut the cucumber in half and remove the core. Then grate the cucumber on a grater or cut it very, very finely and let it drain briefly in a colander; then add to the quark-yoghurt-cream mixture and stir in.
- If you want the tzatziki with garlic, finely chop the cloves, 1-2 pieces, depending on your taste, until it has a mushy consistency (can also be made in a blender) and add to the mixture.
- Add the spices to taste – try again and again. In the variant without garlic, the proportion of chilli must be slightly higher.
- In the best case scenario, let everything steep overnight and garnish with some fresh chives before serving.
