Lady Aga

AGA BARBY SUMMER OUTDOOR DINING COLLECTION

This little dish is a little gem and just perfect  served as an accompaniment to all the tasty dishes I prepare on the AGA  for a outdoor summer afternoon! Although mine usually last the entire weekend!

I always use the AGA to cook on as I find it easier, with some dishes  finished off on the barby to brown and griddle not wishing to deprive the men!

Preparation time 15 to 20mins

Cost approximately £2.50

For a reduced fat healthier version use light Greek yogurt and limit or no olive oil.

TZATZIKI  INGREDIENTS

1 whole fresh garlic bulb or to your own taste (dry bulb if unavailable)

1 whole cucumber peeled cored and grated.

500 mgms  of creamy Greek yogurt.

Salt to taste.

10 mls olive oil

Flat leaf parsley for decoration

HOW TO PREPARE

Peel the cucumber cut length ways and remove  the core.

Cut cucumber  in half and grate both halves (easier to grate in 2 pieces)j

Wrap in muslin and squeeze any  excess water out of the grated cucumber (optional)

Finely chop whole garlic bulb.

Mix all ingredients together.

Drizzle with a little olive oil.

Add the parsley garnish and serve with crusty bread  or as an accompaniment to the big summer AGA barby.

Best made a few hours before so the flavour of the garlic can permeate.

The fresh garlic has a much softer smell and taste unlike the garlic bulbs we are used to, so definitely worth the effort of sourcing it and it will keeps quite a while.

The tatziki will keep in the fridge sealed  up to 2 days. But I really don’t think you will have any left!
