INGREDIENTS:
SERVES 4 -6 , 1 1/2 cups
Ingredients:
• 1 cup plain yogurt made into Yogurt Cheese
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 1/3 cup cucumber, shredded
• 1 tablespoon juice of 1/2 cup cucumber
• 1 clove garlic, (minced)
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Method:
1.1st day: Making the yogurt cheese.
Put cheese cloth or a coffee filter in a strainer. Put the strainer over a bowl to catch the whey that
runs from the yogurt. Put in your yogurt, cover and place in the refrigerator overnight. This will give
the yogurt a consistency of soft cream cheese. Draining overnight should do the trick.
2. 2nd day: Preparing the cucumber.
The next day, peel a cucumber. Cut cucumber in half
lengthwise. With a teaspoon, scrape out the seeds and discard. Grate the cucumber on a microplane or
cheese shredder.
Take 1/2 cup of shredded cucumber and squeeze out the juice into a separate bowl.
3. Putting the sauce together.
Remove the yogurt cheese from the cheese cloth and place in a mixing
bowl. Add the sour cream, garlic, olive oil, salt, cucumber (shredded) and cucumber juice.
Mix well then
cover and refrigerate if not using immediately.
Chef's Note: Variations to this recipe can be made by adding minced mint leaves,
basil leaves, dill, lemon juice, oregano or fenugreek.
