If you did not manage to buy one, you can cook yogurt at home, using ours, and then, using simple manipulations, turn natural homemade yogurt into the “right” Greek. To do this, lay a large sieve with a linen (cotton) napkin, lower for half a minute in boiling water, put the yogurt on top, cover it cling film  and leave overnight at room temperature.

When the sauce thickens, add salt and pepper to taste and beat for another half minute. Serve ready sauce immediately.

Cooking Dutch sauce is a very delicate process. It is necessary to ensure that the temperature of the steam does not become too high, otherwise the sauce may coagulate. But it is possible to settle this little nuisance; ice sauce can be “fixed”: you need to remove the bowl from the “bath”, add a couple of ice cubes there and churn the yolks until the ice has melted.

Recipe 9.

What to eat: corn chips, bread, Mexican dishes.

It will take: 2 avocados, 1 tomato, 1 hot red pepper, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice (or lime juice), 1 tablespoon of finely chopped cilantro, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, half onions.

Alligator pear (also called avocado) cut in half lengthwise and, to make it easier to remove the bone, unfold the halves in different directions, separate from each other and peel.

Cut the tomato into small slices. Combine the pulp of avocado with cilantro, onion, hot pepper  and tomato, season with salt and mix.

Guacamole is a national Mexican dish. It looks more like a snack, although the name of the dish literally translates as “avocado sauce.”
