Tzatziki Recipe

!±8± Tzatziki Recipe

Tzatziki can be used as an appetizer, or part of a meal. It is quite common in Greek cuisine. For example, it is often served in gyros. The majority of the food is made of strained yogurt. This can be purchased at some stores, and may be called Greek yogurt. Those who cannot find it or don't want to purchase it that way for some reason can attempt to strain regular yogurt, reducing it to (generally) one-half or one-third of the original amount. For a tzatziki recipe such as the one below, buying 6 cups of yogurt should be sufficient to end up with the 2 cups of the strained variety that are used to make the sauce. The straining process should continue for at least several hours -- 4 at the minimum. Depending upon the original consistency and other factors, this may be roughly enough time to get the volume down to about half. Straining overnight can allow it to become even thicker, which may be preferable to some people.

Ingredients

2 cups Greek/strained yogurt
3/4 cups diced cucumber
7 cloves of garlic, chopped into fine pieces
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. lemon zest
2 tbsp. chopped cilantro

Directions

Combine the olive oil and the lemon juice in a bowl, stirring well. Add in a yogurt at a relatively slow pace, making certain that it mixes in well. Finally, add in the remaining ingredients and continue to stir until the distribution of ingredients in the tzatziki is fairly even. Allow it to chill before being served.

Bean to Cup Coffee Machines: What You Need to Know

!±8± Bean to Cup Coffee Machines: What You Need to Know

Coffee connoisseurs should think twice about buying a coffee machine, especially if you're after the taste and aroma of freshly-ground coffee beans. The common coffee maker simply won't do. To achieve the best of fresh coffee every morning, people will generally choose to buy bean to cup coffee machines. These are coffee makers that include a bean grinder, thus squeezing out the original coffee taste straight into your cup. Most of this kind commonly includes a storage for dumping out the bean remains for the next few uses, which saves you the time and energy from cleaning up every time you use the coffee maker.

While the idea of having freshly-ground beans every morning is certainly tempting, there are several factors that you should know about the bean to cup coffee machines before you set out to buy one. First, these machines are more expensive than the common coffee makers. This isn't only due to the internal grinding and brewing chamber as well as the promise of newly-ground beans, the beans themselves are also slightly more expensive than the common coffee that you can buy. However, you can lessen the waste and also save up on money instead of buying a separate grinder.

Also, because of its setting, many people tend to get lost when making their coffee, especially when it's the first thing in the morning and they're not functioning without their caffeine. While some of the bean-grinding coffee makers tend to be traditional-that is, you have to pour the beans and wait for them to grind and brew before you can get to drink your mug-some of the newer models have programmable settings. Consider some extra settings, such as automatically brewing the pre-placed beans at a certain time of the day. This certainly saves you the time and energy every morning, especially when you're generally either too busy or too groggy to operate the machine!

Speaking of these extra features, make sure that your coffee machine has intuitive programming. Certainly, you have to know how to manipulate and coax deliciously brewed coffee straight from grinding and into your cup-or mug, if that's how you roll.

Simply put, owning bean to cup coffee machines can be very rewarding, especially if you value the taste of different coffee beans freshly-ground in the convenience of your home. With this coffee maker, you'll never have to tolerate weak coffee again. Just make sure that the model you find is simple and easy to use. It's a great trade-off when you know you deserve quality coffee in the morning.
