This is so easy to make there’s really no need to buy ready made - honest! Ideal served with low fat pitta chips and lamb kofta kebabs.
250ml or 1/2 pint low fat greek yogurt
1 clove garlic crushed
1/3 cucumber washed and grated on largest side of grater
salt
Put the yogurt into a bowl.
Add the crushed garlic.
Squeeze out all liquid from the grated cucumber and add the bowl.
Add the salt, mix together and have a taste - adjust seasoning if needed.
See I told you it was easy ;0)
I have discovered these in the shops in the past month or so and thought - ‘what a fab idea!’ and decided to make them myself to make them even lower in fat and much cheaper too!
Serves as many as you like - adapt as needed
Allow 1 wholemeal pitta per person
Spray oil
Flavourings:
1 tablespoon dukkha - ground up in a pestel and mortar
or
1 tablespoon cajun spice
or
1 tablespoon mixed herbs
Switch the oven onto 200 degrees (no need to pre-heat for ages). Cut the pitta bread into bite size pieces and place onto a baking tray spreading them out evenly.
Spray very lightly with oil then sprinkle with your chosen flavouring and season with salt and pepper.
Cook for about 15-20 mins and then check on them - you want them to be lightly browned and dried out - it’s a good idea to turn the oven off and leave them in the oven for a further 10 mins.
When done, tip them into a bowl and serve with a homemade dip such a guacamole, tzatziki or tomato salsa - fantastic and guilt-free!
