Spiced Yoghurt
Description
This is also very good with cold roast lamb or as dip to accompany flat breads.
Ingredients
500ml natural yoghurt 2 tsp cumin seeds (toasted) (or if you prefer 2 tsp ground cumin lightly toasted) 20 mint leaves (finely sliced) |
2 tbsp finely chopped parsley leaves 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper |
Method
· Place a sieve lined with muslin over a bowl.
· Pour yoghurt into the muslin. Pull the corners together and tie up with kitchen string.

· The following day discard any liquids collected in the bowl and transfer yoghurt from muslin to a clean bowl.
