I was looking for a yogurt dish to serve with some kebabs, Kebab Torsh, and a delicate Lentil rice tahdig as part of a larger meal and I came across this recipe in my cookbook collection. This yogurt dip is perfect, salty from the feta, tart from the yogurt and lime, and has a great texture from the chopped walnuts.
You can enjoy this just with pita bread as a wonderful appetizer or dip.
This is an amazing cookbook that goes beyond what we normally know as traditional Turkish cuisine. The flavors are spectacular, most of the recipes are super simple and this is a cookbook I read through quite often, and want to cook from everyday.
