I had a lovely piece of lamb for dinner with couscous. I found a tub of Greek Yoghurt in the fridge (which was at the end of its use-by life) and I also had on hand a bucketful of herbs I had just picked up at the market. I decided to put them together as an accompaniment for the meat. It worked a treat.
Ready
- Greek yoghurt (nothing low-fat or runny!)
- Fresh herbs (I used predominantly handfuls of flat-leaf parsley, cilantro and mint)
- A couple of garlic cloves, crushed
- Salt and pepper
- Maybe a squeeze of lemon juice
- Maybe a pinch of cayenne
Set
- A bowl
- A knife
- A cutting board
Go
- Empty the yoghurt into a bowl and add the chopped garlic.
- Roughly chop the herbs (you can rip them with your bare hands if you fancy) and add them to the yoghurt.
- Season, add lemon and cayenne if you wish and stir well.
What you should know
I am sure there are proper, sophisticated recipes for creating something like this. But this took me a minute to prepare — literally — and worked so, so well with the lamb that I thought it worthy of submission to GreatGrub.
I am sure people will be able to suggest scrumptious derivatives… looking forward to seeing some in comments below (or an entirely new recipe!).
