We’ve been getting tons of cucumber with our CSAs so I decided to try to make some tzatziki. It seemed easy enough, although the recipe had fairly vague directions. Kate and I decided we were up to the challenge.
First we gathered our ingredients which involved a trip to HEB. We were hoping to buy a dill plant, but we had to settle for some clippings.
Next up we had to hollow out the cucumber. Kate got a bit bored with the prep work and wondered off to play in her ball pit.
I lured Kate back into the learning tower by offering to let her smell the dill. She loves to smell stuff. I think she would have shoved it up her nose if I had let her.
I let her try to crack some pepper in to the food processer and she thought it was awesome. I think Kate’s definition of “to taste” is a little different from the rest of us. 🙂
I let her throw in the cucumbers and it was time to blend. She left the room for this part because, although she is fearless about most things, loud noises scare her.
Kate gave it too thumbs up! Side note: apparently dill is spicy. Who knew. I just kept throwing it in there assuming that since it didn’t have a strong smell it wouldn’t have a strong flavor. Whoops.
I freely admit that I let her stick her fingers in the dip and lick it off because I thought it made a great picture.
