Harissa yoghurt

~ Sophie ~ Leave a comment

Incredibly simple to make – it’s literally just stirring – but you’ll definitely want to dip EVERYTHING in it. Falafels, toasted pitta, carrot sticks, crisps, steamed green beans, your face. And then there’s the things you can put it on top of…

  • 5 heaped tbsp plain greek yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp harissa (I really recommend this sultry minx – https://www.belazu.com/shop/rose-harissa – which is also a total game-changer on a cheese toastie)
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  1. Mix. That’s it. Mix until it’s a coral-hued bowl of pure delight and then off you go. Guaranteed to improve your mood.

Tzatziki/raita

~ Sophie ~ 4 Comments

There are over 3000 miles between Greece and India, but it seems the combination of yoghurt, cucumber and herbs either evolved independently in both places because it’s amazing, or travelled between them. Who knows? What I do know is that it’s delicious enough that you might be tempted to eat it all on its own.

  • Half a cucumber
  • 300g Greek-style plain yoghurt
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • Pinch of salt
  • Chopped mint (or dill for tzatziki/coriander for raita)
  • Squeeze of lemon
  1. Slice the cucumber lengthways and remove the seedy core. Eat it because it’s nice!
  2. Grate the cucumber and squeeze out as much liquid as possible
  3. Mix the well-squeezed cucumber with the yoghurt, garlic, salt, lemon and herbs

If you fancy a different raita, I highly recommend the incredible smashed pineapple and turmeric raita from Meera Sodha’s Fresh India.
