GRILLED PEPPERS WITH GARLIC YOGURT
This dish is very much in the Turkish spirit of mixing warm vegetables with cool, garlicky yogurt. Various types of peppers will work. This is a typical Turkish way to use grilled peppers. Turkish cuisine features cool, garlicky yogurt with warm vegetables. You can use a mix of peppers for this (in Turkey, longish, thin-skinned green peppers are the norm), and you don't have to stick to sweet peppers, though I prefer the sweet against the pungent yogurt. Roasted peppers will keep for a week in the refrigerator. They will continue to release liquid, which they can marinate in. Warm the peppers before serving, or serve them at room temperature with the topping.

Steps:
- Grill peppers over coals, under a broiler or over a gas flame until blackened. Remove from heat and place in a bowl. Cover bowl and allow peppers to sit for 15 minutes.
- Skin peppers, cut in half and remove seeds and membranes, holding peppers over bowl to catch juices. Cut lengthwise into wide strips and place in a bowl. Strain juice into bowl with peppers and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- In a mortar and pestle, purée garlic with a generous pinch of salt. Stir into the yogurt. Add lemon juice.
- Arrange peppers on a platter or on individual plates. Spoon yogurt on top, drizzle on a little olive oil, garnish with chopped herbs if desired and serve.
