Caraway-Yogurt Sauce for Vegetables
A tangy yogurt sauce with toasted caraway, thyme and lemon, made to spoon over vegetables that need a cool, savory finish.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground caraway seed
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 cup full-fat plain yogurt
- Large pinch fresh lemon zest, from about 1/4 lemon
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Warm the oil in a medium skillet set over medium-high heat until it looks glossy and shimmery. Stir in the caraway and cook until the seeds begin to pop and release a toasted aroma, about 30 seconds.
- Add the thyme right away and continue stirring until it smells fragrant, about 30 seconds longer. Transfer the seasoned oil to a medium bowl, then mix in the yogurt.
- Fold in the lemon zest, then season with salt and pepper. Serve right away, or refrigerate until you’re ready to use it.
