Cauliflower tzatziki (fat-free)
- 300g cauliflower
- 20 g peeled parsnip (for a more delicate taste)
- 4 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 small cloves of garlic (or less so it doesn’t get too spicy)
- 100 g peeled cucumber
- optional: 1/2 tsp maple syrup
- optional: some chopped dill
- optional: freshly ground black pepper
Preparation:
Wash the cauliflower, divide it into florets and peel the parsnips and cut them into pieces. Steam in a pot with a steamer insert for 15 minutes until soft. Allow to cool slightly. Peel the garlic and chop roughly. Puree the lemon juice and garlic together with the steamed vegetables until very creamy.
Grate the cucumber into fine sticks and mix with the pureed mixture. Season with maple syrup, chopped dill and a little pepper. Let it sit in the fridge for another hour.
This tzatziki goes particularly well with oven-baked vegetables or steamed potatoes.
