  • Making your own fresh tzatziki is a snap with this easy recipe. Traditional Greek tzatziki only uses a few ingredients and adds that OPA factor to whatever you are serving it with!!!
    TIP: Make sure the yogurt you are using is the Greek strained type. Works best because of its thicker consistency.
    TIP: Try and make ahead at least a couple of hours before serving for maximum flavour.
    Hope you guys enjoy this video and if you have any questions, comments or suggestions, just give me a shout and I'll get back ASAP!!!!!
    Try this today and take your meals from ordinary to OPA!!!!!
    Hope you all love it!!!!!
    Cheers,
    Ken

    Slither all over my olive oil fried eggplant and zucchini! Nectar of the Gods!! On roasted lamb or roast kid goat for Easter!!! I can't wait!
    ( If you salt eggplant lightly and cover slices with paper towels to soak up the moisture as the salt draws it out , and wipe off mostly, batter and fry spear in olive oil! Heaven! As a child on Crete, my Greek friends YiaYia always made a delicious dense Easter bread with (always only!) A dyed egg in the center of the round golden egg type holiday bread . Could you do a video so I can attempt it? 🥰

    Hi Ken.. I make tzatziki almost the same way (for about 30 years.. people always tell me to put oregano in it or other things, but dille it is) but I always add some olive oil en lemonjuice to it. Is tzatiki made in different ways, depending on the region?
