GOODNESS
Garlic: Garlic is in the same family as onions and leeks, and purportedly provided ancient Roman soldiers the courage to battle the barbarians. Whether or not it gives you courage, it is known to lower blood pressure, which is great for your heart and helps prevent stroke. In addition, it has a long history as a digestive aid, so don't be shy with this wonderful herb, no matter what it does to your breath!

Recipe

Cilantro Garlic Yogurt Sauce

serves
prep time: 10
cook time: 450

ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups plain whole-milk Greek-style yogurt
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
  • 3/4 teaspoon cayenne

directions

Stir together all ingredients with 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste), then chill, covered, at least 30 minutes (for flavors to blend). Bring to room temperature before serving.

note:

If you can't find Greek-style yogurt, you can thicken 3 cups regular plain whole-milk yogurt by draining it in a paper-towel-lined sieve, chilled, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.

Sauce can be chilled up to 6 hours.
