Ingredients
Tzatziki
- 500 g Greek yoghurt
- 1 large organic cucumber
- 1 lemon
- 1 small bunch of mint
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Olive oil
- Coarse salt
- Fine salt and pepper
Cheesenans
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 portions of Kiri-type cheese
- 30 g melted butter
Recipe
Tzatziki
- Prepare the cucumber: Grate it with the skin directly into a colander, sprinkle with coarse salt and leave to drain for a few minutes. Squeeze well to remove excess water.
- Herbs and garlic: Peel and remove the germ from the garlic. Finely chop the mint. If you have dill, feel free to add a nice sprig.
- Mix the ingredients together: In a large bowl, mix the Greek yoghurt with the drained cucumber, mint and garlic. Add the lemon juice, a little salt and pepper to taste and drizzle generously with olive oil.
- Leave to stand: Place in the fridge for around 30 minutes to allow the flavours to mingle.
Cheesenans
- Form the portions: Unroll the pizza dough and cut into 4 equal pieces.
- Coat with cheese: Place a portion of Kiri in the centre of each piece of dough. Fold the corners of the dough towards the centre to envelop the cheese and form a ball. Repeat for the other pieces.
- Roll out the balls: Flatten each ball of dough into a thin disc.
- Cooking: Heat a non-stick frying pan without fat. Cook each naan for around 4 minutes, turning them over halfway through cooking so that they are golden brown on both sides.
- Gourmet finishing touch: Brush the cheesenans with melted butter just before serving for an even tastier result.
