INGREDIENTS:
2 cups plain full fat yogurt (high quality without gums and thickeners)
2 teaspoons creamed very fresh garlic
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and grated on large holes of grater
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
PREPARATION:
Drain yogurt for 1 hour in a cheese-cloth lined strainer to remove some of
its water. In a bowl, combine the yogurt, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle
the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt over the grated cucumber and drain, 10 to15
minutes, to extract excess water. Add drained cucumber to yogurt, along with
pepper, and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with mint leaves. Serve with pita crisps
or grilled fish.
Yield: 2 1/2 cups
