Ingredients
- Greek yogurt120g
- cucumber60g
- wholemeal pitta1
- garlic1 clove
Method
- Coarsely grate the cucumber, then squeeze it hard in a clean tea towel. This is the step people skip and it is why tzatziki turns watery.
- Crush the garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt.
- Stir the cucumber and garlic through the yogurt and season. Rest for 10 minutes so the garlic mellows.
- Toast the pitta until puffed, then tear or cut into strips for dipping.
Meal-prep note
The tzatziki keeps for 3 days and improves overnight. Toast the pitta fresh — it goes leathery once cooled.
