Ingredients

2 (about 600g) telegraph cucumbers, peeled, halved lengthways, seeds removed
1/2 teaspoon salt
520g (2 cups) Greek-style natural yoghurt
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Freshly ground black pepper

Method

Step 1 Use the coarse side of a grater to grate the cucumber. Place in a small bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Toss to combine.

Step 2 Place the yoghurt, garlic, oil and cumin in a medium bowl, and stir to combine.

Step 3 Transfer the cucumber to a sieve and use your hands to squeeze out any excess moisture. Stir the cucumber pulp through the yoghurt mixture. Taste and season with pepper. Cover and place in the fridge until required.

Step 4 Cook the green beans in a medium saucepan of boiling water for 1-2 minutes or until bright green and tender crisp. Refresh under cold running water. Drain. Serve the tzatziki with the green beans.
