Thanks to its very particular flavor and its versatility, the Greeks use tzatziki to accompany most dishes, from fish to meat to salads to rice. Furthermore, in addition to being one of the ingredients of Greek gyros and souvlaki, it is also a component of Turkish kebab. The origins of tzatziki, which comes from the Turkish word cacik, are lost in the centuries and traditions of the ancient Greeks who, to cool off during hot days, used to mix yogurt with garlic, water and bread in a jar: the ancestor of tzatziki. What is certain is that from Greece this sauce also spread to nearby areas although with a different name: in Bulgaria it is called Tarator and in Iraq Djadjik. Although most people know only one type of tzatziki, namely Smyrna tzatziki, in reality there are many varieties prepared with different vegetables. The burning sensation on the tongue that can be felt when eating tzatziki is due to the grated garlic and lasts only a few seconds. Tzatziki can also be considered a beauty elixir since it contains all the properties of garlic and yogurt... just make sure you don't have to kiss anyone after eating it! You can store tzatziki in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, covering the surface with oil and covering it with cling film.
