Cucumber Yogurt Dip With Cumin Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together yogurt, cucumber, dill, coriander, red pepper flakes, vinegar, and salt until evenly combined. Season well with freshly ground black pepper, taste, and adjust seasoning, as needed. Serve with an assortment of vegetables for dipping.

Steps:

• to drain the yogurt, line a mesh colandar with cheesecloth or a coffee filter and hang over a bowl. Let the yogurt drain at least an hour or two, but no big deal if it is easier for you the night before. If that is the case, make sure to cover the top and leave it in the fridge.
• This can be skipped if you can get your hands on real Greek yogurt, which is thicker than most commerical brands.
• Place the now thickened yorgurt to a bowl and add the other ingredients. Best if it sits for a bit to let the flavors combine, but with me, it is likely that it will get eaten long before.
• You may keep leftovers in the fridge, but I find the raw garlic can get a bit intense upon sitting. Not that that is a bad thing, but consider yourself warned.

Steps:

• Blend all of the ingredients except the herbs until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning. Refrigerate for 1 hour or longer before serving.

Steps:

• Cut the garlic clove in half and place the halves at the edge of the cutting board. Use the dull side of your chef's knife to cut the garlic almost to a mash, then use the sharp side to mince it. Put the garlic and lemon juice in a small bowl along with a pinch of salt to remove the raw taste from the garlic and lightly pickle it.
• Chop the cucumber, scallions, and parsley and add them to the garlic.
• Finish by mixing in the yogurt, dried mint, and olive oil. Season with salt and serve with crudités, pita, or latkes.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine yogurt, cucumber, onion, mint and cumin.

• spoon the yogurt mixture into a strainer lined with coffee filter.
• Place a bowl under the strainer to catch the liquid (whey) that drains off.
• Cover and refrigerate 12 hours,
• discard liquid.

Steps:

• Pound the garlic and 1 tsp sea salt in a pestle and mortar until smooth; transfer to a bowl and mix with the yoghurt, tahini, lemon juice and cumin. Add 30ml of water and stir till smooth then chill until required.
• Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a little more cumin. Serve with pita bread.
