Maast O'Khiar
Report
Persian yoghurt & cucumber dip
Share:
Ingredients
- 500 g strained Greek Yoghurt (I use Total 5%)
- 1/2 large cucumber (grated with skin and seeds)
- 1 tsp dried mint
- 1 tsp fresh mint (chopped)
- 1 large clove garlic (crushed)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (and extra to drizzle on top)
- Juice of half a lime
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- Fresh mint and chopped cucumber (to garnish)
Instructions
- Take a bowl, add the yoghurt, grated cucumber, dried mint, fresh mint, crushed garlic, 1 tbsp of olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper and stir. Taste and adjust seasoning or other flavours as desired.
- Cover the bowl and leave in the fridge for the flavours to intensify and mix well through the yoghurt (no less than 1 hour). When you are ready to serve the Maast O'Khiar, drizzle some olive oil on top and decorate with fresh mint and / or cucumber and / or dried rose petals and / or dried mint.
- Serve alongside a Persian spread, as part of a mezze-style spread of dishes, or as an appetiser. Or like some Iranians, sit in front of the telly with a bowl of Maast O'Khiar and a massive bag of crisps and dip away!
