Notes:
From the kitchen
- Garlic yogurt is a quiet staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern home cooking – a simple combination of yogurt and fresh garlic used to balance rich dishes and brighten vegetables. It’s one of those everyday sauces that doesn’t need much, just good yogurt and fresh garlic.
- Store in a sealed glass or porcelain container in the fridge to keep it fresh and prevent garlic odors or no extra bowl needed, mix and store it right in the yogurt container.
- Add a drizzle of olive oil for richness.
- Add lemon zest or a squeeze of lemon for brightness.
- Use thick Greek yogurt for a richer texture.
- Spoon over roasted or sautéed vegetables.
- Serve alongside rice dishes and lentils.
- Drizzle over grilled meats.
- Use as a simple dip with warm bread.
- It’s especially lovely paired with spinach, rice, stuffed vegetables, or meatballs.

A LITTLE STORY
Garlic yogurt is a quiet staple in Mediterranean kitchens, often served with vegetables, grains, and warm dishes to bring balance and freshness to the table.
That’s perfect.
DID YOU KNOW?
Garlic has natural antimicrobial properties, which can help garlic yogurt stay fresh a little longer than plain yogurt when stored properly in the fridge.
