Creamy mint & yoghurt sauce

This sauce is the best friend of hot summer days and rich, spiced meats (like lamb). The acidity of the yoghurt and the cooling effect of the mint (menthol activates cold receptors) 'wash away' greasy flavours from the palate, making every bite feel fresh.

Instructions

1

Chop the mint very finely.

Tip: Use a sharp knife so you don't crush the leaves, otherwise they will turn brown.
2

Mix the yoghurt with the cream, lemon, garlic, spices and mint.

Tip: The cream softens the acidity of the yoghurt.
3

Leave to stand in the fridge for 15 minutes before serving.

Tip: The flavours need time to meld.
