Chris and I got to enjoy some tasty foods while honeymooning in Greece and Italy. Here's a photo that Chris took of me in Santorini, Greece. We were grabbing lunch on a black sand beach on the Aegean Sea.
The gyros were tasty! And having a pint of the local brew, Mythos, was a perfect compliment to the fresh tomatoes, lamb, pita and Tzatziki sauce.
Here's a recipe on how to make a a yummy Tzatziki (yogurt) sauce:
Ingredients:
2 cups plain yogurt
2 teaspoons pureed garlic
1 teaspoon salt
2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded, grated ( use large holes on grater)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
Drain yogurt for 1 hr. in cheesecloth lined strainer.
In bowl, combine yogurt, garlic, 1/2 tsp. salt.
Sprinkle rest of salt on grated cucumbers, drain for 10-15 minutes.
Add drained cucumbers to yogurt.
Drizzle with olive oil, mix well.
Note: This is wonderful with salads, as a dip with crackers.
