CUCUMBER SAUCE
I'm Greek and my husband's Sicilian, so we use plenty of garlic in our cooking. We typically serve this traditional Tzatziki with lamb and chicken. -Efy Leonardi, Massapequa, New York

TZATZIKI SAUCE-- GREEK CUCUMBER/YOGURT SAUCE
This is the cool and creamy sauce that usually is served as a condiment on Greek Gyro sandwiches. The recipe calls for the thicker, Greek Yogurt, also called, "Greek Cheese". If you can't find this type of yogurt, you can use plain, regular yogurt from the grocery store. But in order to get the sauce to the desired thicker consistency, you need to suspend the yogurt in a cheesecloth for a couple of hours to drain some of the water off. If you don't mind it moderately runny, you can just make it as is and it is still delicious, just a little more messy.

Steps:
- Peel cucumbers and dice. Put them in a colander and sprinkle with the tablespoon of salt (draws water out). Cover with a plate and sit something heavy on top. Let sit for 30 minute Drain well and wipe dry with a paper towel.
- In food processor or blender, add cucumbers, garlic, lemon juice, dill and/or mint, and a few grinds of black pepper. Process until well blended, then stir into yogurt. Taste before adding any extra salt, then salt if needed. Place in refrigerator for at least two hours before serving so flavors can blend.
- This will keep for a few days in the refrigerator, but you will need to drain off any water and stir each time you use it.
- ** If you can't find the thicker Greek Yogurt Cheese, you can use regular, plain yogurt that is either full fat or low fat. To thicken, spoon yogurt into cheese cloth that has been quadrupled. Draw the corners of the cloth up and tie together. Suspend above a bowl for 2 hours so that water can drip out. The consistency of the yogurt should be like that of sour cream.
- You can skip this draining process, if you want, but you will have a moderately messier, runnier result.
CUCUMBER SAUCE FOR GYROS
I tried different sauces but didn't find the taste I was looking for so I threw some stuff together and I was very happy with the results. If you try it and tweak it, let me know. I edited the recipe after reading the great suggestions.

Steps:
- Put the cucumber into a colander and sprinkle with a little salt.
- Let rest for 10-15 minutes to allow extra juices to escape the cucumber.
- Gently squeeze the cucumber in a paper or cloth towel.
- Put everything a bowl and mix well (I don't rinse the cucumber).
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Refrigerate for a couple of hours prior to using (if you have time).
- A turn or two in the food processor would yield a nice smooth sauce.
- Good on anything, especially Gyros.
CUCUMBER YOGURT SAUCE
Steps:

FALAFEL PITA WITH CUCUMBER SAUCE
Make this for your friends. They won't believe that it didn't come from that little Mediterranean place around the corner. This is a great recipe to partially prepare in advance and refrigerate until you're ready to cook and eat, but once you cook the falafel, it's best to eat it right away. This sauce is good on anything from veggies to bread. I like to make extra just for snacking on.

Steps:
- Pour the chickpeas into a colander and rinse under cold water. Let drain for 10 minutes. Place the chickpeas in a bowl and smash them well with a fork or a potato masher, if you have one, until they are the consistency of dense, grainy mashed potatoes. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic, or pass the garlic through a garlic press. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the chopped onion and 1 teaspoon of the chopped garlic for the sauce and add the remainder of each to the mashed chickpeas. Stir in the parsley, cumin, and flour until they are completely combined. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Form the mixture into small balls about the size of ping-pong balls, and press them gently between your palms to flatten slightly into patties.
- Pour about 1 inch of oil into a deep skillet or large saucepan and place over medium-high heat until very hot (about 350°F). (A tiny drop of water flicked into the pan should immediately cause the oil to bubble up.) Carefully add a few of the patties to the oil using a slotted spoon. Make sure not to crowd the patties in the pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove to a plate lined with several layers of paper towels to drain and repeat the process with the remaining patties.
- Place the sour cream in a bowl and add the reserved onion and garlic. Peel the cucumber and cut it in half lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds with a spoon and cut the cucumber into thin slices. Stir the cucumber into the sour cream and season with salt and pepper.
- Peel and grate the carrot. Cut the tomato in half, remove the seeds by scraping them out of the tomato with a small tool or your finger, and chop into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut the pita breads in half and open the pockets. Place 3 or 4 falafel in each pocket and spoon on some of the cucumber sauce. Top with some of the grated carrot and tomato and serve immediately.
- Temperature control is the key to nongreasy frying: if your oil is hot enough when you add the food, and if it stays hot enough, the food will cook fast and absorb a surprisingly small amount of oil. Fry the food in batches to keep the pan uncrowded-adding a lot of food to the pan can cool the oil down too much.
