well hello there friends today I’m making a Greek sauce tatii I love it when I go to Greek restaurant you must be wondering what does the French Italian chef knows about Greek food you’ll be surprised my ta tii sauce is amazing and I want to show you how to make it remember friends thumbs up if you like the video don’t forget to subscribe to the channel and don’t forget to ring the bell I’m glad you’re here stay tuned I’m going to show you how to make it [Applause] okay friends well the first thing to do is we’re going to prepare the cucumbers and uh what I do is I cut the ends off I use a whole cucumber you know when I make that sauce I make a lot what’s the sense of making a little bit because this delicious so you peel the Cucumber first don’t forget to peel them it’s really important no secret here peeling a cucumber right and then we’re going to cut it in half and if there’s some important some a big presence I mean I don’t have to really really peel I don’t mind if there’s a little bit of the of the skin left a little bit right uh but uh but you definitely have to P it um I forgot what I was going to say but I guess it’s okay oh yeah yeah so what we’re going to do we’re going to cut it in half right and uh just cut it in half this way and then cut it in half the other way really make sure we got some good halves here right and if there’s too much seed I’m going to remove the seeds okay cuz now you can leave them if you want you know you can leave them if you want it’s it’s your cucumber and but when there’s too much seeds like that I remove them there’s a lot of water in there you see friends a lot of water in there we don’t need that water right there we really don’t okay uh and then I’m I’m I’m also going to strain the yogurt I’m using a Greek yogurt and um let me tell you something this is as good as you’re going to get in any Greek restaurant now I have a few friends of mine that are Greek Greek chefs I know they’re watching if I don’t do it the right way they’re going to let me out it next time I go to their restaurant but they’re going to be PR they know I do a good job this is going to be delicious all right friends then what I’m going to do now I’m going to grate them use a vegetable grater with the uh with the big holes you know be careful otherwise you’ll um you’ll grate your um your fingers too and um I tell you what I’m going to do I don’t want to make the video too long and grade them all I tell you I tell you what I’m going to do though uh I’m going to grade him right I’m going to do that for the for the four pieces and then what I do friends I take them but I’m gonna strain her like this make sure also friends let me move out of the way make sure you strain her friends is stilling steel and not aluminum this is aluminum color you see aluminum they like silver St and still you see the different color now brand new aluminum almost look like that but you wash it a couple of times then it becomes dull color of silver you don’t want to do that cuz you put your your your vegetables you put your yogurt whatever you put in a in a aluminum it’ll turn black on you so you take your yogurt also and I’m going to use a whole 24 oz when I when I make it I I make a lot of it and right now it doesn’t look like there’s any water in there right you said oh I don’t need to drain there’s no water in there we’ll come back in a couple of hours and and we’ll talk and you’ll see what happened my friends all right we’re going to leave them like this just like this this right there I’m going to take a a healthy uh teaspoon of salt I’m G to put it a little bit on top now because I’ll finish it in a minute when I put the rest of it right I’m going to put it in there and you’ll see how much water comes out of there too all right my friends I’m going to do all that when I come back this will have drained this will have drain and we’ll make the whole sauce together so I’ll be back in a few minutes okay I just want to show you what I did okay friends well look look look look look check it out check out how much water came out of the yogurt just leave it there like this look at it didn’t do nothing couple of hours it’s amazing what about the Cucumber you know what I do I put a little ball in the knce one otherwise the strainer is going to touch the bottom so if it’s too much coming out right you put a little ball down the zucchini the zucchini the cucumber is not that bad you see so it it was not touching the bottom but you can squeeze it like this too You’ be amazed right oh you know what you can do also you got a potato rer look at this you got a potato ricer you take it you’re you’re you’re a cucumber but I’m in a potato ricer or you take a cheesecloth or a a muslin fabric take a b squeeze the water out of it I promise you friends it tastes better if you get rid of all the water you got a better texture remember the texture is a conductor of flavor it’s very important I don’t want something look look look look look look at this look at this water friends not amazing if you have a potato right so I make it easy okay oh mama look at this water I’m going to get a h here I got to be careful hey yeah hey the people are here for the first time and say these guys are not here we go my friend we’re we’re going to take it out of there the water and we’re going to get a new bowl where we are putting a cucumber waterless waterless cucumbers we in Florida I hear a rain show they sometime it look beautiful right beautiful sunshine and all of a sudden the rain pours like a hurricane and then a few minutes later you go to the beach all right so we get rid of all this it’s a very simple sauce to make friends ta tii take your strain yogurt right there take all this stuff out of the way so now we’re going to flavor it okay how much garlic you put in it’s really up to you for 24 oz I like to put a good uh a little tablespoon of of of garlic you can put more you can put l really up to you it always is D I got about a two teaspoon of fresh deal chopped very fine I’m also going to put um one two teaspoon that look like two teaspoon of fresh lemon juice going to put a little bit of Ain in there friends we’re going to put a a another not that much another a teaspoon of salt because remember we already put the salt in the Cucumber fresh pepper another little bit of acidity friend very little a good white wine vinegar or if you have a white balsamic vinegar oh very little okay talking about two teaspoon at the most little bit of acidity we don’t want to put too much liquid and a couple of tablespoon of beautiful olive oil and I have this beautiful garlic olive oil and then one more thing that I’m going to do look look how beautiful it is friend you watch see I see people putting a very little cucumber you got to put at least a whole cucumber in there and you know what I see also uh what I like in there my friends is the um uh put a little bit of lemon zest the lemon zest is going to wake up all the ingredients remember friends most of you know exactly how to use a microplane grader now you know what I find interesting is that I introduced this method since I started YouTube three years ago and uh and I started doing this with teaching people how to use it correctly and now I see so many YouTubers they use it the right way we have good influence on them that’s wonderful all right look look guys look look see remember you put the tool on top of the lemon not the lemon on top of the tool like so many ding-dongs out there and look look see it’s all there it’s pretty cool and it the tool is is designed to do this you play like a violin you play your lemon like a violin and look boom so now you some people may not like as much lemon in there saiki saiki I like it it’s really a matter of opinion Prince and voila you adjust your salt and pepper you see if you like it now remember it’s better in 2 hours from now I promise you the the all the flavors are going to marry much better in 2 hours from now so make sure you make it in advance and then delicious could use more salt could use little more pepper that’s really oh you know also I’ve made it also uh um this is a traditional way of making it now I’m sure some of my uh uh uh Greek chefs are going to say you forgot this you didn’t do this but look that’s the way I make it uh you can also add a little bit of heat in there too the Arisa I’m not going to do it otherwise I know what’s going to happen we’re going to have a revolution we a little bit of our Resa in here this is my favorite brand yeah I buy that whole food it’s fabulous all right my friends fora in there you wake it up even more I’m going to test it to make sure it’s got enough salt and pepper and that was it it that was simple we’re going to make some video in this we’re going to use it it’s perfect my friends that thumbs up that means you got to give me a Thumb Thumbs Up Remember subscribe to the channel don’t forget to subscribe ring the bell and um and thumbs up I guess that’s it right I forgot one of them sometime I forget something thanks for watching we’ll see you guys

That's exactly how I make my Tzatziki Chef JP !! So happy to see it making some Greek Stuff !!
Better than MAYO lol
💞🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍🙏🙏
people back for the hundredth time say: we love this nut!
Funny, just made tzatziki for the first time 3 weeks back. Warning, if you leave it too long in the fridge, the whole house will stink. Use good containers folks
another effect of draining all that water out is that all the new liquids will be absorbed really easily.
I was in the mood to for some Greek cooking and this video just popped up it's a sign… can't wait to try.
Now I gotta grill some lamb chops to go with the tzatziki sauce, Perfect summer meal.
Farewell potato Mondays, you will be missed…I loved the potato videos, and now I'm looking forward to trying something new. I've never heard of this but it looks great
Ok now you'll have to show us the zucchini cake!. Thanks Chef, You're the best.
Thanks Chef! – Cheers!
🥒🥒🧄🧂🍋🍦😅👍 Well hello there!!
Honestly, the more I see the way Chef Jean Pierre grates citrus, the more it makes sense. You can literally see how much zest your producing, it's easier to see where you're grating so you don't grate your hand, and you can move faster cuz you're just moving the grater instead of rubbing a lemon on to the grater, or worse, trying go moving the just the grater while avoiding your fingers because you're grating from the bottom.
Very good Tzatziki i do it the same way I use the name Fage yogurt and no straying it dill olive oil maybe little mint lemon garlic good for appetizers small Greek meatballs zucchini etc thanks chef for the good healthy food!!!
When I was young, I travelled to Greece often. I miss most of all the souvlaki. Now we can make the sauce, please show us how to make this. Chicken, pork, or lamb I do not care.
Psst, I like lamb. 😋
I put sour cream in also and grate my cucumber with the peel on. But I use all your ingredients except vinegar 😊
I've been here a while and I still think you are a nut… and I love it
Thank you, Chef Jean-Pierre, for all you do for us. I have a question do you have a Documentary about your career. If not, it will be varied interesting. Watched your Q&A a year ago and that was interesting. Great channel
Opa 🙂
I see Jack is playing with new sound and video effects!
Have to laugh, was watching a well known famous chef earlier and he was relegated to the "DING DONG" list by the way he used a zester 😳😆😆😆👍. I know the recipe doesn't call for it, but I happen to like finely chopped green onions in my tzatziki. Seems to add an extra bit of flavor that makes the sauce pop. Thank you for showing the potato ricer trick. Works great. Better than my trick of putting the grated cucumber in some cheese cloth and squeezing the water out that way. Saves a bit of money cause all I have to do is wash the ricer and I don't have to spend money at the store buying more cheese cloth 👍. You're a peach 🍑
This guy is a 🥜 😂😂 ❤❤❤
Tip. Don't peel the cucumbers… lot of flavor in the skin… no need for it
First timers only think you are a nut. Us longer termers KNOW you are. That's why we love you. Tzatziki is a brilliant sauce to brighten food up.
Chef ,what does it go with
Not going to buy tzatziki anymore! ❤😊 This reminds me of my salmon-spread I am making every week. Soooo good on a slice of sourdough bread with salted butter…
Waterless! No! But less water indeed!!
If you have a Middle Eastern market near you, look for Labna. A super thick yogurt, that you do not have to strain. The only yogurt I buy.
I love the water shooting out of the potato ricer all over the place!!!!
First time I had that was while in college and we went to an gyro shop and I fell in love with it.
Very close to how I make it, next time I'll include lemon zest. If I don't have dill I leave the cucumber skin on for a nicer colour.
Whoa! not so easy chef! Where's the recipe for that Zucchini Cake? 🤔❓
Whoa! not so easy chef! Where's the recipe for that Zucchini Cake? 🤔❓
