Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello and welcome. This is Connoisseur's Corner where we come
up with great ideas for you, whether you're going out
or cooking at home. Today it's mona dog Off. She's
cooking at home and she's got an idea for Tizikie sauce,
which is kind of neat.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Cool, creamy, and totally tiziki. So this Greek yogurt sauce
is the real deal. It's perfect for dipping vegetables or
really as a doll for any protein. And the big
ingredient is we use plain Greek yogurt as the base,
which of course adds great protein, all the good probiotics.
Plus then we make yogurt savory versus sweet by adding

(00:35):
savory herbs and spices, cucumber for texture, and extra tang
with lemon juice. So here's what we're going to do.
We're going to place one half cup of finely grated
cucumber in a towel or cheese cloth and gently squeeze
out a bit of excess water, and then in a
medium bowl, we're going to combine that cucumber in the bowl,
and then we're going to add in one cup of
thick hole Greek yogurt, and you can use non fat

(00:58):
or whole fat. One table's spoon of fresh lemon juice,
a half a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, one
garlic cloak grated, a little bit of salt and pepper,
a tablespoon of fresh dill, and I like adding in
some mint as well. Mix it together, chill and they're
fridge for about an hour and it makes the most
amazing dip or doll up extra sauce to have with

(01:19):
any of your girl dinners over the summer.
