Here's a nice little sauce to go with your skewered foodstuffs. I personally don't like cucumbers, but I feel like I'm in the minority here.
1. Start with 2 cucumbers. Peel them.
2. Now, grate them.
3. Salt them and leave them in a colander to dry for about half an hour.
4. Do something fun for a half hour. Like putting meat on a stick and squeezing lemons over them. Watch DS9 on Netflix while you do it. It holds up pretty well
5. When the cukes are dry-ish combine them with two minced cloves of garlic, 2 cups of plain yogurt (or Greek, if you are fancy), and just under a tablespoon of dried mint. (If you have some fresh mint, throw in a tablespoon.)
6. Chill for a half hour before serving.
Questions/comments from the Husband:
ReplyDeleteHow do you peel a cucumber?
What is a colander?
Yeah, DS9 does hold up pretty well.
1. Use a potato peeler to take the dark green part off.
ReplyDelete2. A colander is a "spaghetti strainer".
3. I used to have a coffee mug shaped like Quark's head.
This was really good. At the last minute I thought that there ought to be onions (and that you had purposefully left them out), but was too lazy to cut one up. As it turns out, there's no need.

I am constantly told I need pics on this blog, so even unpretty ones are welcome.
