Tzatziki from Around My French Table: More Than 300 Recipes from My Home to Yours (page 24) by Dorie Greenspan

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    p. 24 - Excellent. Nothing especially unusual in terms of prep though DG does suggest that you finely cube the cucumber vs grating it. The ingredients also are standard w the exception of the 1tbsp of extra virgin olive oil that DG calls for. She suggests you add equal amounts of dill and mint whereas I chose to do a 3:1 ratio of dill to mint. I picked up some wonderful, super-thick Greek yogurt at a fabulous Persian market I discovered during Arabesque month so, no draining required. DG has you mix all ingredients together once the cucumber has drained for 30 mins whereas I prefer to mix all the ingredients except the cucumber together to allow the garlic flavour to develop and then I just stir in the well-drained cucumber right before serving. This was good, as we expected it would be. I’d skip the evoo next time as I didn’t feel it added anything.
