This yogurt dish may be served as a relish or it may be used as a sauce over cooked vegetables. Of course, it also tastes quite wonderful if eaten plain, with a spoon. Some minced fresh mint may be added to it, if you like.
-
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/4 t. salt, or to taste
- 1 clove garlic, mashed to a pulp in a mortar
- 1/16 t. freshly ground black pepper
- 2 t. fruity olive oil
Put the yogurt in a bowl. Beat gently with a fork or whisk until smooth and creamy. Now add all the other ingredients. Beat to mix. Cover and chill until needed..
Serves 1-4.
