In my restaurant, from time to time, we get the visit of vegetarians...

And very often we are kinda get panic when we get someone vegetarian eating and we are mainly cooking chicken/beef/lamb/seafood/fish...

But since the beginning of this year, we have implemented couple fo vegetarian dishes on our menu offerings so that we let the veg also get some choices...

One among the most famous dish that me and my chef created recently is the classic Tzatziki...we worked together to make Tzatziki 2.0!!!

We cut the white cucumber in small brunoise and season with salt - this is to extract the maximum of water from the cucumber.

Then finely chopped the garlic and cut some fresh mint leaves.

After 10 minutes, squeeze the cucumbers to take off maximum of water from it!

Then add the yogurt, garlic, mint and olive oil - Mix everything well together, check the seasoning!

Just before serving this dish, you just need to add some virgin olive oil and rock salt on top - perfect salad!

We really had a lot of fun plating this dish - not always easy to make a tzatziki looks nice!

So how did you find this dish my friends!?

If we can have the feedback of someone vegetarian...that would be great!

Until then...
Wish you a pleasant day/evening ahead!
Best Regards!
