Heavenly spread for meat, fish, sandwiches, and burgers. They serve this at my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant. Finally got the recipe! This is heaven as a dip with pita bread, but everyone in your party has to have some. Serious garlic!

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 small russet potatoes, peeled
1 head garlic, peeled and crushed
1 ½ teaspoons salt
⅓ cup lemon juice
½ cup canola oil

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl; mash until smooth. Set aside to cool.
  • Put garlic, salt, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor; pour in enough oil to lightly coat garlic cloves. Blend mixture on high; slowly stream remaining oil through the top opening of the blender or food processor until mixture is smooth. Add mashed potatoes, about 2 to 3 tablespoons at a time, to the garlic mixture while blender is still running. Continue adding potatoes until all are incorporated. Transfer sauce to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled, 1 hour to overnight.

PERSIAN CUCUMBER YOGURT (MAAST-O KHIAR)



Persian Cucumber Yogurt (Maast-o Khiar) image

This cool and healthy dip can be served along side rice and meat, or simply with bread. No Persian meal is complete without Maast-o khiar! This dish is best if refrigerated for a few hours, but if you are strapped for time feel free to serve after mixing. Don't be afraid to get creative! Try adding spinach, raisins, or walnuts. Other herbs could be used as well (i.e. mint, tarragon, oregano). More cucumbers, less shallots...it's your call! Enjoy!
