A Taste of Anatolia: Creamy Turkish Carrot and Garlic Yogurt Dip (Havuç Tarator)
Details
Unlock the vibrant flavours of Anatolia with this ridiculously creamy carrot dip. The secret? A generous kick of garlic that perfectly complements the sweet carrots and tangy yogurt.
Ingredients
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the grated carrots and sauté for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and have released their sweetness. [1, 2]
Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool completely. This is a crucial step to prevent the yogurt from splitting. [3, 4]
In a medium bowl, combine the cooled carrot and garlic mixture with the Greek yogurt, chopped walnuts, and salt. Mix well, transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with extra chopped walnuts and fresh dill before serving. [4, 5]
