THIN YOGURT SAUCE



Thin Yogurt Sauce image

Serve this raitalike dressing with any Middle Eastern kebab or kofte (pages 354-356), just as a drizzle, or with any grilled meat, poultry, or fish. If you have a source for fresh yogurt, this is the place to use it. Many times this is made with a teaspoon or more of minced garlic. Obviously, that changes its character greatly, but some people cannot live without it. Good either way.

Yield makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups good-quality whole-milk yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
Salt and black pepper to taste
Pinch of cayenne
1/4 cup or more chopped fresh parsley leaves, fresh mint leaves, or a combination

Steps:

  • Whisk together the yogurt and lemon juice until smooth.
  • Stir in the other ingredients. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to several hours; drain excess liquid if necessary and stir again before serving.

This sauce tastes a lot like tzatziki, but it's WAY easier to make. I actually like it better than tzatziki. Very good on grilled chicken gyros. YUM!

COD FILLETS WITH CILANTRO YOGURT SAUCE



Cod Fillets With Cilantro Yogurt Sauce image

This cooling herbed yogurt sauce is adapted from the chef Yotam Ottolenghi in London, who serves it with leek fritters. But it's wonderful with mild fish like cod. The fish, while delicious, is utterly simple: fillets baked in a 300-degree oven until opaque, 10 to 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the pieces. It is the sauce that is the star, and that comes together quickly in a food processor. Combine roughly chopped cilantro and parsley, garlic that has been mashed to a paste, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and yogurt. (Whole-milk yogurt would be best for body and flavor, while low-fat is O.K., and nonfat untenable.) Process until the mixture is smooth and green. There will be sauce left over, which you can use on yet more fish, or as a dip for vegetables or fritters, anything that would thrive when dunked in the refreshing, herb-graced sauce.

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings (you'll have sauce left over)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups cilantro leaves (some stems are O.K. - you don't have to pick off each leaf the way you do with parsley)
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 garlic cloves
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (low-fat or whole)
1 1/2 pounds Alaskan cod fillets
Lemon wedges for garnish

Steps:

  • To make the sauce, coarsely chop the cilantro and the parsley leaves. In a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic with a pinch of salt. Place the cilantro and parsley in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until finely chopped. Add the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, about 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste), and the yogurt and process until the mixture is smooth and green. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil and oil the foil. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper and lay on the foil. Place a pan of just boiled water on the floor of your oven and place the baking sheet with the fish in the oven on the middle rack. Bake 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish is opaque on the surface and you can pull it apart with a fork.
  • Remove the fish from the oven, transfer to plates or a platter, and spoon on the sauce. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve.
