SPICY MOROCCAN YOGURT MARINADE OR DIP



Spicy Moroccan Yogurt Marinade or Dip image

This is such a tasty sauce! It's our favorite way to flavor baked salmon; the spices are wonderful and complex, and the yogurt makes the fish butter-tender! I always double this if I'm just cooking for the two of us, and save half for use as a dip with raw vegetables or grainy artisan crackers.

Categories     Moroccan

Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

500 g natural yoghurt
1 small lebanese cucumber
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons dill, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground aniseed
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Place yoghurt into a muslin-lined sieve over a bowl, cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  • Do not squeeze but discard liquid for yoghurt.
  • Cut the cucumber in half lengthways.
  • Scoop out and discard the seeds, coarsely grate the flesh.
  • Place into a medium bowl with the yoghurt, and stir through the remaining ingredients.
  • Serve with flat bread, as a dipping sauce for vegetables, or as a side dish.

Tips:

  • Choose plain, whole milk yogurt for the dip. Greek yogurt can be used, but it will result in a thicker dip.
  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
  • Add a little bit of lemon juice or vinegar to brighten up the flavors.
  • Season the dip to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the dip with pita bread, crackers, or vegetables.
