A refreshing Turkish sauce, yogurt mint sauce is made by mixing garlic quickly softened in a pressure cooker with strained yogurt and dried mint. Softening the garlic with steam tames its sharpness and keeps the sauce from tasting bitter.

Step by Step

Soften the garlic in the pressure cooker

12 min

Place the whole head of garlic in a steamer basket in the pressure cooker with a small amount of water. Close the lid and steam for 12 minutes.

2

Cool and mash

15 min

Remove the garlic and let it cool completely, then squeeze out the cloves and mash them.

3

Mix

3 min

Mix the mashed garlic with the strained yogurt, dried mint, olive oil, water, and salt.

4

Chill and serve

15 min

Chill the sauce in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving.

Reminder

Let the garlic cool completely after removing it from the pressure cooker before mixing it into the yogurt, or the yogurt may curdle. Allergen: Contains dairy (yogurt).
