Eugenia is continuing for her fifth year commitment to mentor at-risk kids by giving and organizing cooking classes with Free Arts of Arizona. She has created, with Free Arts and Les Dames, a special 10 week culinary program to help teenagers learn how to cook, shop for groceries, and celebrate food. Recipe of the Moment: Featured in For the Love of Food. Creamy Yogurt and Cucumber Dip - Tzatziki My dad used to make his own yogurt and it was so good we would put it on everything. My favorite way to eat it was with steaming hot rice pilaf. I still love yogurt and made this version of Tzatziki that my mom, dad, and whole family love. It's delicious with everything from roasted chicken, grilled fish, and fresh beets, to the more typical flatbreads and vegetable crudités. It's one of our most requested spreads.
Peel cucumber and halve lengthwise, then remove seeds and discard seeds with a spoon. Grate cucumber in food processor or by hand and toss with 1 tsp salt. Place in colander to drain with weight on top, in refrigerator for 4 hours or 1 hour at room temperature. Place yogurt to drain in colander lined with paper towels for 4 hours in refrigerator or 1 hour at room temperature.
