6 cloves garlic, peeled
Salt
2 lbs (4 cups) Greek-style yogurt
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper

1. Grate the cucumbers and place in a colander, weighted down with a plate for 15 minutes, so that some of their liquid drains out. Gather up in a some muslin and squeeze any remaining liquid out.
2. Place the garlic cloves and a little salt in a mortar. Crush with the pestle until the garlic is pureed.
