Said with a thick Greek accent, “You like the sauce?” This episode features homemade tzatziki sauce - the garlicy, greek yogurt-y dip that brings everyone together, yet pushes them further apart at the same time. Tzatziki - easy to make but difficult to pronounce- will be the tastiest thing you’ll put on your pita bread this week.

This sauce changed my life!!! Can’t believe I went soooo long without trying this sauce.

Welcome to life after tzatziki!

Wh..wha.. WHAT??? No dill?!! No dill, is a big DILL! You need DILL!! 😮😮😮

@dolphinbear661 Год назад

I made this but added the dill and some of my homegrown oregano and homemade Greek yogurt, also added my own Greek spice blend. Yummo

@theevankaras Год назад

Sounds delicious. I hope that you enjoyed it!

I replayed the beginning a bunch of times. So fun and cheerful! - Also Greek people always have the most perfect teeth!? I mean my teeth are fine but why do I always see/notice this perfection???

Glad you liked my video!

@tom4208 Год назад

might sound weird to some people, but chopped red onion and parsley is really good in this sauce too

@TheofilosMouratidis Год назад

we usually have red onion and maybe parsley in gyros which has tzatziki, so yes they go well together

@theevankaras Год назад

Sounds like a great idea. Personally, I wouldn't add it to the tzatziki because if it sits for a few days, it will get a very strong onion taste. But add it to a sandwich for sure!

@ELizabeth_Beeza Год назад

Gotta make this !! Garlic is so healthy helps for high blood pressure

@RonDenWhite90 Год назад

Totally. I ate a lot of garlic when my blood pressure was at 170/110 and when I went back to the doctor my blood pressure dropped all the way down to 124/66 cause I ate a lot of garlic and onions and I eliminated salt and sugar.

@K0UK0U 3 месяца назад

Good job Evan. Perfect recipe for perfect Tzatziki. Full fat Yogurt was the proper choice.

@Zoubida62 5 месяцев назад

I use it with mint dry or fresh & dry basil or any herbs you like, still comes beautifully delicious 😋

@MothersLovingArmsNursery Год назад

I do like dill so i will add some but love garlic and i will follow your recipe thank you 🎉

@theevankaras Год назад

Garlic is for the soul 😎

@jimmyd9508 3 года назад

I have seen many recipes for this. This is exceptional. The more garlic the better in my opinion. I am not Greek, however a lot of my Greek friends have used sour cream in addition to yogurt.. thoughts? Very nice video

@theevankaras 3 года назад

Thanks! Pro tip. If the tzatziki sits for a day or two the garlic begins to ferment and the taste gets stronger! I love it. I have to say, I’ve never heard of using sour cream. But with a full fat Greek yogurt you’ll get the best creaminess.

Tzatziki without dill is not tzatziki I hope you know this

@theevankaras Год назад

Don’t want to be rude, but where is that a written rule? Also, recipes in general, should be able to allow for variations. This is how all dishes that we know today are formed. If people don’t try different things the we wouldn’t have 99% of what we have right now. I’m certainly not a trailblazer for excluding dill, but I think it wouldn’t hurt to expand your horizons, my friend. You might just find that you like what you find…

@PAPASTHEGREAT 2 года назад

That's not a sauce and lemon not in the tzatziki 🤣🤣

@DANMCMAHON08 Год назад

One vital ingredient you completely missed out making it “authentic Greek” ….Dill !!!

@theevankaras Год назад

Dill is common in tzatziki, yes it’s true. However, I personally don’t like it and choose not to add it. Like I said in the video, you can certainly add as much of it as you want. No hate here. And as for the authentic Greek part of your comment, I’m as authentic as they come.

@terryo9185 Год назад

add another half cucumber, a little more white wine vinegar, half olive oil, half garlic, oregano not needed, use just a little mint if you dont like dill

I hate dill and this tzatziki is perfect for me! Being pregnant and craving tzatziki with fresh baguette 😍 you saved me!! My Greek friends who lives in Belgium also really like you tzatziki (she doesn't like dill either). Thank you for the recipe!!

@onpsxmember Год назад

You need 10% fat joghurt not 5%, it's easier to remove the excess water of the cucumber by just removing the center before grating.

@theevankaras Год назад

That sounds great! Unfortunately it’s very hard to fin 10% yogurt in my area of the US, especially an authentic greek yogurt. The best option would be to make your own yogurt, which there will be a video on how to do that too!

@GroundhogDK Год назад

Absolutely love your approach to cooking and life choices :D Full fat when needed! Fat is not bad, it's all about portions (size and how many) and general health by exercising and staying fit. Stay away form the bad things or at least minimize alcohol, chips, candy, sodium rich foods and sugary drinks. And get lots of fresh air. Go biking and hiking! Final piece of advice. Eat lots of of cruciferous vegetables (kale, broccoli, sprouts etc.), pesto or basil, garlic and ginger! Then you die happy at 100+.

@theevankaras Год назад

If we could all be so lucky! Thank you for the kind words!

@ownpetard8379 Год назад

Minimize/eliminate added sugar. Simple to eliminate sugary drinks and candy as you said. Then look at labels and try to avoid "Added sugar" - has its own line on the nutrition label. Sugar is used in everything. And it could be called a poison for all the harm it does.
