TURKISH ALMOND SAUCE
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 3 tablespoons fine-chopped sweet onion (Walla Walla, Vidalia, Maui)
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar or distilled white vinegar
- ¼ cup good-tasting extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and fresh-ground black pepper
- 1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
- 1 cup whole salted almonds, coarse chopped
- 2 tight-packed tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
A cream sauce Turkish-style, this is so much more modern than Alfredo or béchamel.
- In a serving bowl, combine the garlic, onion, and vinegar. Let stand for 10 minutes.
- Beat in the olive oil until the sauce is creamy. Add salt and pepper, and stir in the yogurt. Add the almonds (and coriander if using) just before serving to keep them crunchy.
