It doesn't matter if you have no idea who he is, or whether you've been a subscriber since he started his channel - you're his friend, and he's your friend. His food is always incredible and his friendly vibe and laid-back yet passionate and heartfelt demeanor immediately dispels any sort of air of superiority about his techniques or recipes.

    Probably not quite as tasty as yours, but definitely faster and doesn’t use every appliance and bowl in the kitchen. I will use it in place of ranch dressing for a veggie dip, or even in place of dressing for my salads.

    Thank you for the recipe chef! A little tip from the recipe that we use in my family: We don't grate the cucumber but instead we make a fine brunoise cut. Yeah it takes more time than grating but the crunchy texture gives it a different profile.

    • @ChefJeanPierre
      @ChefJeanPierre  Před 10 dny

      Great idea! I certainly can see how it would improve the texture! 🙏❤️

    Oh my goodness I can't WAIT to watch this and then make it.
    When I was in my 20's, I was stationed in Berlin courtesy of the USAF. My friends and I joked that there were Italian restaurants on every other street corner and the street corners in between had Greek restaurants.
    This is when I discovered Tzatziki and it got to the point that we could no longer share it, we each had to get one of our own, and sometimes a third that we'd fight over.
    I LOVE good Tzatziki! The stuff I've usually had since is simply not the same.

    I drain the yogurt for at least 8 hours, use at least 3 grated cucumbers, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and dill (sometimes mint). I store it in a tightly covered jar and use it as dressing.

    I personally just get 1 cup of whole milk yogurt, then add chopped up dill pickles. Allow to marinate. Delicious on falafel!! Easy peezy.

      Absolutely divine! Today was my day to make Tzatziki sauce. I picked up a fresh pita bread and beef/lamb skewers at the grocery store to pair them with the sauce. Followed the recipe by "measuring carefully" especially the garlic, lemon juice and zest and left out dill (never liked it; do not have it in my spices and do not bother purchasing it either). Also used balsamic vinegar reduction sauce (got it at Costco a while back) instead of white wine balsamic vinegar (measured "carefully"). Tzatziki is absolutely amazing; I am still licking my "whiskers".

    As a Greek cook I never need to strain the Greek yoghurt, it's always thick enough. The cucumber I do squize and I also don't add any vinegar or lemon, just olive oil, salt, pepper and occasionally dill or mint. It then goes into the pita with meat, tomato, parsley and red onion. Of course it is delicious with many more mezedes! Greetings.
