Zahra bil Laban
Cauliflower with Garlic Yogurt Sauce
Yes, with a tweak: ensure yogurt is unsweetened and full-fat. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Syrian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender, steamed or lightly boiled cauliflower florets generously drizzled with a rich, tangy yogurt sauce seasoned with fresh crushed garlic, dried mint, and a touch of olive oil. A refreshing and authentic mezze or side dish.
Key ingredients
Cauliflower, plain full-fat yogurt, garlic, fresh mint, olive oil, salt.
