Zesty coriander and lime yoghurt dip

This 'goes-with-everything' dip is your fridge's secret weapon. The creaminess of yoghurt and the acidity of lime create a refreshing pair capable of 'cutting through' the heaviness of fatty roasts or spicy dishes. 5 minutes of work, but everyone at the table will ask for the recipe.

Instructions

1

Wash the coriander, shake off the water, and chop very finely (you can include the stems, they have the most flavour!).

Tip: It is important that the herb is dry, otherwise it will water down the yoghurt.
2

Grate the garlic or crush to a paste.

Tip: Grated garlic mixes better than chopped pieces, so you don't bite into a large chunk of pungent clove.
3

Mix the yoghurt with the lime juice, garlic, coriander and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Tip: The oil helps the spice flavours release better and makes the cream silkier (emulsion).
4

Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Tip: The flavours need time to meld; the aroma of the garlic and coriander permeates the yoghurt.

Recipe FAQ

The sauce is too runny, what should I do?
Use Greek yoghurt, as it has a lower water content. If it's already runny, add a little grated cheese or let it set in the fridge.
