Tzatziki-- In Greek: τζατζίκι, pronounced dza-DZEE-kee

"Tzatziki is traditionally served as an appetizer and can be left on the table as an accompaniment to foods throughout the meal. The key to great tzatziki is the thick creamy texture that allows it to be eaten alone, as a dip, as a spread, and as a condiment."

You will need:

• thick Greek yogurt - 1 cup (if not available, hang the yogurt)
• Garlic cloves finely chopped - 6-7 cloves
• Extra virgin olive oil - 4 tbsp
• Cucumber grated- 1/4 cup
• Dill finely chopped - 1/4 cup
• salt to taste

Method:
First, mix the salt and grated cucumber and leave for 2-3 mins (this step is important as the salt helps to remove the moisture from the cucumber).  Mix in all of the other ingredients into the yogurt. From the cucumber, press out all the water and add into the yogurt, mix it well and chill for half an hour
