Steemit Iron chef Act 01 - Round 03. Dipping Dinner.

in steemit-ironchef •  7 years ago 

Hello people of steemit Iron chef!

Here we are again, another week, another product. And this time is not an easy one…

Cucumber is not one of the usual products in my kitchen, but I must say I like it. I just don´t use it often. So it wasn´t very clear what to do this time.

Finally I remembered a delicious thing I had sometimes in a greek restaurant… It was a thick sauce, and I belive there was cucumber on it… Yes it was tzatziki!

I decided to make it for the contest. And what a blast!! Easy, quick and tastefull.

Dipping dinner

Ingredients:

  • Cucumber
  • Yogourt
  • Mint
  • Garlic
  • Lemon
  • Salt

  • To Dip:

  • My magic vinegar onions (Again)
  • Carrots
  • Pita bread
  • Tomatoes
  • More cucumber
  • The key of this dish is to drain the grated cucumber. Get rid of the extra moisture to give the sauce this magnificent thicknes. For this, just peel the cucumber, and after grate it leave it on a strainer with salt.

    After half an hour squeeze it and get the most wáter you can out.

    Then just mix the ingredients.

    Smash the garlic, chop some mint and add salt and a bit of apple vinegar and lemon juice.

    As I always say. Why it has to be complicated to taste great?

    Prepare some crudites and pita bread, and start dipping!!!

    So refreshing, nutritious, and cooling! I love tzatziki and 'tis the season for dipping dishes!! Great one!

    Love tzaitziki for eating with spicy foods. It tempers the heat so well. I like your mortar and pestle too. I use one too. It is better than the machine for grinding up garlic and making sauces like aioli.

    Yes! This is the small one.. I have another made of Stone... Heavy and dangerous. Only for Big mortar moments hehe

    Omg I actually love dips and veggie crudites, so simple yet effective :-)

    Certanly!! 😀

    This is one of my most favorite dipping ever! Simple ingredients giving great taste!
    Beautiful photography my friend!
    Keep rocking!
