Turkish Kebab Sauce – Sauce Kebab

TURKISH KEBAB SAUCE - SAUCE KEBAB
ASTUCE: I suggest toasting cumin seed in a small skillet on the grill, alongside your burgers or other foods that are grilling, then grinding them in a spice grinder, or in a mortar and pestle. Also, if you want your sauce more spicy, you know what to do (hint: add more spices!). SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: small, heavy skillet and spice grinder, whisk PREPARATION TIME: 10 minutes DIFFICULTY LEVEL: simple
Servings: 1 cup

  • 1 cup (250ml) Greek yogurt

  • ½ teaspoon Piment d’Espelette or a blend of mild and hot paprika or to taste
Instructions
  1. Place the yogurt and the mayonnaise in a medium-sized bowl and whisk them together. Whisk in the lemon juice, shallot, and the garlic.
