I saw this being made on Masterchef by George Calombaris and had to try it. I was not disappointed. It really is the best Tzatziki I have ever had. Served as a sauce with some grilled chicken & vegetables. Would be wonderful on it's own as a dip with Pita Bread too.

4 Lebanese cucumbers, peeled
2 cups Greek yoghurt
1/2 clove garlic, finely grated
1 small eschalot, finely grated
½ bunch dill, fronds finely chopped
1 lemon, zest finely grated
1 pinch Cayenne pepper
1 tsp Greek honey
4-5 tbs olive oil
2 cups Greek yoghurt
1/2 clove garlic, finely grated
1 small eschalot, finely grated
½ bunch dill, fronds finely chopped
1 lemon, zest finely grated
1 pinch Cayenne pepper
1 tsp Greek honey
4-5 tbs olive oil
Coarsely grate the cucumbers onto a tray covered with a clean cloth so the liquid from the cucumber can drain into the tray. Spread cucumber out evenly, season lightly with salt, cover with a clean cloth and leave for 5 minutes then roll up to extract the juice. Set drained cucumber aside.
Place ½ cup of the thickened yoghurt in a small bowl with the garlic, eschalot, dill, lemon zest and cayenne pepper.
