Carrots with yoghurt (or roasted eggplants with yoghurt in summer) is one of the essential of a meze table. Enjoying the sunset by the Bosporus with meze and a glass of rakı, which is a spirit of Turkey made with distilled grape and anise, is priceless but this yoghurt meze is also perfect for a quick, light and insanely delicious meal. Whether it is winter, spring or summer, just pick your favourite vegetable, sauté for a couple of minutes and mix with yoghurt and voila! You have your epic meze to enyoj!

Carrots with Yoghurt
3 carrots, coarsely grated
1 clove of garlic, peeled
350 g room temperature savoury yoghurt, (8 tablespoons)
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 levelled teaspoon salt
To garnish,
Parsley leaves, chopped
Extra virgin olive oil
Roasted sesame seeds
• To peel the carrots, place the blade of your paring knife at the top of the carrots and press down along the surface, scraping a thin layer of skin off the carrots. Just be careful not to peel too much of the meat off the carrots. A gentle scrape of the top will do.
• Heat a medium frying pan over high heat and add 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil.
• Sauté the carrots and garlic clove for 5 minutes and don’t stir at the first 2 minutes to brown the carrots.
• Cook for another 3 minutes and add the salt while stirring occasionally. Don’t stir too much and mash the carrots.
• Take out the garlic clove and mash.
• Transfer the carrots in a bowl and add 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and set aside to cool down slightly.
• Whisk the yogurt, garlic puree and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
• Mix the carrots with the yogurt and transfer to a dish.
• Drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle some parsley leaves and roasted sesame seeds.

Red pepper flakes
