Tzatziki

I let Theo, the Greek, taste this dish also, and he said right away that it tasted like in Greece, but that he wanted to add 2 more tablespoons of yougurt, which we did, and I liked it. His version is more creamy, mine is more cucombery, take you pick. However, if you are on a low carb and use sour cream instead of yougurt, I think it's wise to stick to my version.

And with the Moussaka, Tzatziki tastes really good and adds both another vegetable and some freshness to the Moussaka. You need

2 cucombers
3-4 heaped tablespoons of Turkish or Greek yougurt (I prefer Turkish, the fatty kind - sorry Greeks), or, if you are on a low carb diet, use sour cream instead
2 cloves of garlic
lemon juice
salt
pepper
chopped mint leaves (optional)

Put a clean dish towel over a bowl and shred the cucombers coarsly over the dishtowel in the bowl. Then pick up the towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible (but save it in a glas). Put the cucombers back in the bowl, press the garlic cloves over, add the yougurt and stir it all together and taste it off with lemon juice, salt and pepper and mint leaves - again, let your tastebuds be your guide. That's it. Hope you all have a nice dinner.

And the cucomber juice is a quick fix if you want to look better in an hour or so. It is a diuretic and will at least remove the bags under your eyes. Add a little bit of lemon juice to it and drink - quickly, it tastes foul....but is good for you!
