Haydari (Turkish Yogurt Dip)
Love Middle Eastern food? You've got to try your hands at this Turkish yogurt dip recipe called Haydari Tarifi.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoon feta cheese
- 2 cloves garlic grated
- ¼ cup fresh mint leaves
- ¼ cup dill
- 2 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper crushed
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the feta cheese and use a fork to crush it and get it smooth.
- Now add the Greek yogurt, mint, finely chopped dill, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Give it all a good mix. Taste and adjust accordingly.
- Transfer into a serving bowl and top with a generous drizzle of olive oil and some mint leaves.
Notes
- If you're using strained yogurt, you'll need to watch out for the final consistency of the Haydari.
- Cacık is much thinner, which Labneh has a thicker, spreadable texture. You can use either of these, based on your personal preference and how you would want the Haydari to be.
- Remember that Haydari isn't the same as the famous Greek Tzatziki, though you can slightly tweak and play around with the ingredients to bring in different variations.
- Don't forget to top this simple to make Turkish dip with some of your favorite spice blends and seasonings and a generous drizzle of olive oil before you serve it.
