Make tzictki. I just know that spelling's off. It's cucumber dip. Slice &
salt a tiny bit & drain. If you don't want that bother, then just peel some
parts, seed if absolutely necessary, rough chop, sling in the fp with a hunk
of cream cheese at room temp, a garlic clove or six and a carton or so of
sour cream. I usually thicken mine with one (count'em) one envelope of plain
gelatin dissolved in 1/4 cup of warm white wine or water. Can be spiced with
a *little* cumin or mint. Or a little fresh basil. Go easy on the spices
here. Makes a great cold dressing for spicy meat sammiches. Or dip or salad
dressing.
Edrena, who's still getting the hang of measuring stuff.
