Tzatziki

2 containers plain, unflavored yogurt
1 cucumber, shredded
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 Tbsp olive oil
Mix all and serve chilled. Good with pita, spanekopita, or as a gravy substitute for meat. Is better the second day.

Babaganoush

1 large eggplant
1 large onion
3 cloves garlic
2 bell peppers
½ tbsp cumin
1 ½ tbsp tahini
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
salt to taste
¼ cup olives, chopped (optional)

Under broiler in pan, char eggplant and bell peppers. Remove only about ½ the charred skin (the char adds a nice smokey taste to the dip). Cut up all ingredients and place them in the food processor. Blend till only slightly lumpy. Serve warm with pita chips.
Serves 4-6
