Cucumber Mint Yoghurt

Cool cucumber and fresh mint bring natural cooling properties and pair beautifully in this creamy yoghurt sauce. A gentle kick of cumin and fresh garlic adds depth and warmth, creating a refreshing yet flavourful balance. It’s the perfect companion to butter chicken, and just as delicious served alongside grilled chicken or a BBQ’d bratwurst.

Ingredients:

• 1 English cucumber
• 1 cup full fat Greek yoghurt
• ½ cup fresh mint leaves, chopped fine
• Juice of ½ a lemon
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ¾ tsp salt
• ½ tsp fresh ground black pepper
• ½ tsp cumin

Directions:

1. Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Using a box grater, shred the cucumber on the larger shredding holes. Place the shredded cucumber in a dish towel and wring out as much water as possible.
2. Combine cucumber with the remaining ingredients and allow to rest at least half an hour before using.
