Ingredients

Servings

• 250 g natural yogurt (preferably Greek yogurt or thick yogurt)

• 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped

• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

• ¹ ⁄ ₂ tsp ground cumin

• ¹ ⁄ ₄ tsp salt

• 1 pinch of ground black pepper

• 2 tbsp fresh coriander, finely chopped (or fresh mint to taste)

Preparation

1. Prepare the yogurt: In a bowl, whisk the natural yogurt until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous texture.
2. Add the garlic and lemon: Add the finely chopped garlic and lemon juice to the yogurt. Mix well to diffuse the aromas.
3. Season: Add the ground cumin, salt and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
4. Incorporate the fresh herbs: Add the coriander or finely chopped fresh mint. Mix gently to avoid crushing the herbs.

5. Refrigerate: Let the yogurt sauce sit in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend together harmoniously. This sauce will go perfectly with Haneeth lamb.

Note

This sauce can be adjusted according to preference. For a spicier version, you can add a pinch of chili powder. You can also replace the cilantro with mint for a more refreshing touch.
