Turkish carrot salad
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Ingredients for 2-4 persons
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 garlic cloves, ground with a garlic press
- a pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ glass yoghurt
- a few black olives
Preparation:
Scrape the carrots and place the strips into boiling water. Cook for 15 minutes till soft, but not mushy. Drain the carrots and pound them till fine. Mix the purée with the yoghurt, the ground garlic and the oil. Add salt to taste, but not too much since our salt intake is high enough. Garnish with the black olives. It's delicious eaten with 'shoarma' (shawarma) buns filled with meat or cheese.
