dinner

Steak, tsatsiki, sundried olives. I am just saying.

Tsatsiki:
Pour 1 liter or so of natural yogurt (such as Nancy's: that has no crazy additives, and real honest to God bacteria) into a colander or sieve lined with cheesecloth (or a Melitta filter, or sturdy paper towel). Let sit for at least an hour. This allows the yogurt to thicken.
Peel and super finely dice 1 cucumber. Then place it in bowl, sprinkle with salt, mix, put a plate on top, and put something heavy on the plate.
Let the cucumber too sit for about an hour, or longer.
Finely chop a couple of garlic cloves.
Drain the liquid that has formed around the cucumber.
Mix everything.
Add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil.
Let sit over night if you have the patience.
Yum.

I made this for a potluck once and there was a Greek person there and she approved. Very Greek.

Senast igår sa O till mig "kan du inte göra den där röran med gurka och yoghurt som M brukar göra" dvs tsatsiki!! Ok, ska testa ditt recept så fort jag har införskaffat naturell yoghurt!!

Vad lustigt! Jag håller med O, förr eller senare när det är varmt vill man ha tsatsiki...
