Savoury Yoghurt with Pickled Red Onions

Fri, 10th of June

This savoury yoghurt is a delicious side dish. A perfect complement for falafel, burgers, chicken or anything you would eat in a pitta bread, it’s also great with rice and cous cous. The toasted coriander takes on a nutty lemony flavour, offering a fresh contrast to the creamy yoghurt and tart onions. Personally, I could eat it with a spoon all by itself!
