    I was in Greece for a week two summers ago and my lunch for literally every day was pita with a lot of tzaziki! I couldn't stop eating it! I'm from Austria and I think greek food is one of the best in the world!😍

      @Shoahshana Goldberg-Shekelstein there's also a Persian version, which goes really well with arak/raki. But you don't hear people claiming it's Iranian and crying about it 🤣. There's a Persian dish called Mirza Ghasemi, this dish is one of the most famous/traditional starters in Iran. You wouldn't believe how many other countries have the exact same dish, and claim it to be theirs. Philippines, India and so on. We should be proud we have things in common. Greeks, Turks, Iranians, Italians and Spanish are so alike, so much in common you'd think they're all from one country. I know because I've been to all those countries and they all thought I was a local. I look more Italian than my girlfriend, and she's from Naples. She looks more Eastern European.

    • @astrid2885
      @astrid2885 8 ปีที่แล้ว +40

      +jmiquelmb well, there is a difference depending on where the olives come from, because the grounds haven't got the same characteristics everywhere, plus every type of olives has its own aromas which affect the oil afterwards. for example because we have many types of olive oils from many types of olives we can get our hands on the most tastefull olive oils. of course u can use whatever u have or whatever u can afford, because olive oil is expensive abroad, but if u taste the real deal, u will see the difference... whether it's greece, italy or spain u have to taste olive oil from someone who produces it, preferably a small family business.

    • @jmiquelmb
      @jmiquelmb 8 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Astrid Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm from Spain, so I buy Spanish EVOO on the supermarket because it's the easiest to find. I want to find a good local producer of olive oil nearby, but it's become more difficult nowadays, sadly. But I doubt my palate can discern the taste in a youghurt sauce like tzatziki anyway, so to me decent oil is good for now

    • @tsibosp
      @tsibosp 8 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      +jmiquelmb Also useful to point out that large quantities of Greek extra virgin olive oil are purchased by Spanish producers and are blended in Spanish olive oil to up it's quality. Maybe you could contact some producers from Greece and have them ship you some. It would worth your money and trouble I can guarantee you that. The difference in taste and health benefits are enormous plus you could get a semi-large quantity and pass 1 whole year as it never goes bad.

      @jmiquelmb 8 ปีที่แล้ว +29

      +tsibosp Now you've offended my national pride. You better take that back.
      Nah, just kidding haha. I've seen some bottles mixed with portuguese and moroccan oil, but I think it's more due to cost reasons than quality. I'll stick to national oil for now, but I'll sure try yours when I visit Greece

  • @angelaphillips1731
    @angelaphillips1731 3 ปีที่แล้ว +42

    I waitressed at a “semi fine dining” Greek restaurant a few years ago and I’ve been yearning for tzatziki sauce ever since. Not sure why it’s taken me like six years to finally think “hmm maybe I should just make some myself”, so finding this video was definitely a come up. I used to sneak pita chips with a little pinch of tzatziki sauce when I’d come to work hungry and OMG it was like the best thing EVER. Our head chef was this ornery, old, terrifying Greek man named Georgios who was a real tool. Idk that he was capable of speaking to anyone in any volume lower than “absolute yelling” (unless he was talking to one of the two Greek owners-Mr. Sarris or Mr. Kanakis-since these men essentially wrote his checks), and he was less than approachable. So I’m thankful that I have TH-cam as a resource to try and get access to an authentic tzatziki sauce once again. Now if I could just find a good recipe for loukamades and I’d be SET.
    Also, totally agree that Greek yogurt is the only appropriate base for this, but ALSO, Greek yogurt is just better all around, PERIOD. I don’t even eat traditional yogurt anymore. “The Greek Gods” brand, honey vanilla flavor, with actual honey added is better than any Dannon, Go gurt, yoplait whips nonsense that you could try instead. Also try substituting Greek yogurt for sour cream on a baked potato. You can barely tell the difference and it’s a lot healthier. I’m just saying; once you get hooked on Greek yogurt, it seems senseless to ever go back to what you ate before 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Made this yesterday, had homemade pork gyros and greek pita bread too (your recipes). OMG! Loved it! I have made tzatziki before but this one is to kill for. It was delicious and the dill (if any complain, says optional), was a nice suprise. The white vine vinegar was a hit, never thought about that, made the whole tzatziki complete. Thank you Akis for all your lovely recipe! Greetings from Sweden😍

    I just love this stuff, I will put it on almost literally anything. Aside from pitas, gyros, and souvlaki, I include it on charcuterie plates, use it as a spread on sandwiches or burgers, and have even used it as the dressing for potato salads. The sour-savory combination and the fresh herbaceous flavor will compliment and brighten nearly anything. If every restaurant had a bottle of this magic laying around, I have no doubt that it would displace ranch dressing as the sauce that Americans put on absolutely everything.

I also the love the little clay container he served it in, in Greece in stores where they still make homemade yogurt they sell the yogurt in those - glazed on the inside not on the outside. They are so lovely. Bravo!

    Ohh Buddy!
    I woke up this morning and I thought "I need a new condiment / sauce in my kitchen". I searched goolge with "list of sauces" and after deciding on a general white colored sauce and seeing the familiar word Tzatziki (which I had never made or tasted before, only read about) I started watching some videos. I saw a few others with reasonable advice and recipe's but wasn't totally convinced. Then I found yours. Hey - Greek man, Greek sauce - Yep, I give you my trust. I usually change every recipe I find, but not this one. Everything you did, I did. Thanks to your help, I found the new sauce for my kitchen. I did the taste test with plain pita chips. I think I'll test it out with fried shrimp tonight. This is awesome! Fresh dill is one of my favorite herbs, and I was looking for new ways to eat yogurt besides with fruit.
    So, my thanks to you: A like, comment, subscribe and a visit to your website. I'm interested to see how the flavor develops overnight.
    Cheers, from Texas.
