PURE TZATZIKI SAUCE OF THE GODS
I guess it has been almost 20 years since I worked at Zorba's restaurant in Fort Worth. Zorba's had the BEST gyros I have ever had. Zorba's in the North Hills Mall is gone now. The North Hills Mall is even gone now. But I think I have a little treasure from the past that you are going to love. Gyros that you get at a stand or restaurant usually have the same basic ingredients. Pita bread, gyro meat (probably a cone from Kronos), onions, and tomatoes. This is all turned into an unbelievable delicacy with a strange condiment called "tzatziki sauce." There are lots of tzatziki sauce recipes on the Internet. But they don't quite match the creaminess of the tzatziki from Zorba's. I also see tzatziki sauce recipes with dill, mint, lemon juice, and other strange things in them. None of that was in Zorba's tzatziki. Now, I have to admit that they never showed me how to make the tzatziki. That was all done by Tula in the back kitchen. Tzatziki was a complete mystery to me the whole time I worked there. But I did happen to see the two things that made their tzatziki so special. I remembered that one of the ingredients was sour cream. Another one of the ingredients was something that sounded similar to sour cream, but it was different. It was something I had never heard of before. Years later, I kept thinking "what was that other ingredient? Sour...something?" Now that we have the Internet, I am able to put together the last piece of the puzzle. It was not "sour...something." It was "something...cream." It was, in fact, yogurt cream. Now I can give you the basic ingredients so that you can make this simple and extraordinary tzatziki sauce.

Steps:
- First, we will make the yogurt cream.
- Put a coffee filter in a strainer. Put the strainer into a bowl to catch the liquids that run off from the yogurt. Next, put the one cup of plain yogurt into the coffee filter. Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight. This will drain off liquids from the yogurt and make it thicker with a consistency like sour cream. You can let it drain up to 24 hours if you wish, but overnight will be okay.
- The next day, peel a cucumber (I use a potato peeler). Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise. Take a spoon and scrape out the seedy portion in the middle. Shred the cucumber on a cheese shredder or using the shredding attachment in your food processor.
- Take 1/3 cup of shredded cucumber and squeeze out the juice into a separate bowl.
- Remove the thickened yogurt from the coffee filter and place in a mixing bowl. Add the sour cream, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, shredded cucumber and cucumber juice.
- Mix well then cover and refrigerate if not using immediately.

TZAZIKI SAUCE
Steps:
- In a bowl combine yogurt cheese, garlic, lemon juice and dill. Add salt and pepper to taste. Depending on desired consistency, add reserved yogurt liquid.
TZATZIKI
Greek yogurt's thicker texture eliminates the need to drain yogurt in cheesecloth as most commonly seen in tzatziki recipes. Wringing out the moisture from your cucumber ensures that the tzatziki stays thick and creamy. We chose fresh dill and mint over dried to provide the brightest flavor possible.

Steps:
- Line a strainer with a clean kitchen towel and place over a bowl. Grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the cucumbers and toss together by hand. Put the salted cucumber into the towel lined strainer and let sit for 10 minutes. Use the kitchen towel to squeeze out any remaining moisture.
- Stir the cucumber, Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl until combined. Gently fold in the dill and mint. Serve drizzled with more olive oil.
