Serves 4-5
Ingredients
- 400g plain unsweetened yoghurt
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
- 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
- bunch of fresh herbs (such as oregano, dill, parsley), roughly chopped
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt
- veggies of your choice (such as baby cucumbers, baby turnips, ruby chard, Romanesco broccoli)
Method
Spoon the yoghurt into a bowl — choose one with high sides so you can safely pour in the oil. Place your garlic, chilli, smoked paprika and herbs in a jug or bowl.
Heat up the oil in a saucepan until hot, then carefully pour it over the garlic mixture; it will sizzle and pop. Pour this warm mixture over the yoghurt and sprinkle with sea salt.
Arrange veggies of choice on a platter with dip in the middle, then enjoy!
