Excerpt from the book „Vegetarisches aus 1001 Nacht“, by courtesy of pala-verlag, page 121

 

Yogurt dip from Syria
"Salza Laban"

 

Serves 4

  • 150 g cucumber
  • ½ garlic glove 
  • ¼ tsp dried, finely ground mint
  • 200 g Joghurt
  • Salz

How to prepare

1. Clean cucumber. Do not peel. Grate or cut into small dices and add into a bowl.

2. Cut the garlic glove into tiny pieces or use a garlic press to squeeze it. Add garlic, mint and yogurt to the cucumber and mix well. Add salt to taste.

Sundried vegetables or fruit often add a special taste to Arabic meals. The dishes taste much more delicious if you use fresh, untreated fruit.
