Mike and I started hosting Fight Nights at our house about five years ago. What started out as a spartan gathering of a few close friends and some beer has now become a monthly feast that happens to follow the UFC calendar. We've had a lot of delicious meals, but my personal favorite was Greek Night 2009: we indulged in grilled beef gyros, Greek salad, hummus, and my homemade tzatziki sauce.
While I'm sure the fancy stuff they serve in restaurants (or in Greek homes!) is much more sophisticated, this homage to tzatziki is tasty enough to earn approval from my non-Greek, Pita Jungle loving friends. And it's super eas
Here's what you need:
16 oz greek yogurt
1/3 lb feta (buy the block and crumble it yourself. It's got more moisture so it creams into the sauce better, plus it's way less expensive.)
Juice from 1 lemon
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp oregano
A few twists of freshly ground black pepper
Dump all of your ingredients in the food processor, and press go. Let it blend for about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides, and run it for another 15 or 20 seconds. Serve with gyros or as a pita chip and veggie dip. Embarrassingly simple, but so delicious!
