haydari

A thick, creamy meze dish from Turkey, Haydari is a wonderful accompaniment to any feast. A salty, tangy and herbaceous hit of flavour.

Haydari (Turkish Yoghurt Meze)

oz soft feta cheese ((170 grams))

garlic ((minced))

salt

Black pepper ((freshly ground))

extra virgin olive oil

mint

dill ((chopped))

parsley ((chopped))

lemon ((juice of))

For the best results, strained yoghurt is the way to go.1. Dampen a piece of muslin or fine tea towel and squeeze out as much water as you can.2. Place the muslin/teatowel into a fine sieve and then put in the yoghurt.3. Place the sieve over a bowl large enough to collect the excess liquid in the bottom without touching the sieve (about a 2&quot; gap)4. Refrigerate for 4 hours or longer (up to 24).

To strain the yoghurt - Optional

Using a fork, mash the feta with about 2 tbsp of the yoghurt until smooth

Add the garlic, salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp of the mint, the dill and lemon and stir well

Spread the mixture over a plate in a thin layer and then drizzle over a little more extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle the remaining dried mint, the parsley and finally a spritz of lemon juice.

Refrigerate until needed. It&#39;ll stay fresh for up to a week in the fridge (covered).
