Tzatziki

Another simple thing that goes well with a variety of dishes.

Ingredients:
- 1 cucumber *
- 1 lb plain yoghurt
- 1 clove garlic
- salt & white pepper to taste

Grate the cucumber into a sieve and let it drip off for 15-20 minutes, then put it a bowl, add yoghurt, pressed garlic, salt and ground white pepper. Mix well. Eat immediately or store cool for later.

* If in the US I strongly recommend buying so-called European or English cucumbers. Yes, they are more pricey and often smaller - but so much more delicious as well. The easiest way to destroy a cucumber is to overgrow it.
