Turkish carrot dip

This is a simple carrot dip very common in turkish mezze platters, I love how the simple flavours combine in this dish.
I normally have this with falafels and pita bread.
Even S,who normally hates veges or salad asked for seconds.
I came across this recipe on Food Safari featuring Turkish food and I tried it the same night..
Of course,Baba Ghanoush is still my fav but this one is so quick to whip up on those crazy week days.


Ingredients


carrots,  4 medium sized, peeled and finely grated

 olive oil 1 tbsp

 salt , to taste

natural yoghurt 1 c

garlic cloves, 2-3 finely grated

squeeze of lemon juice from 1/2 lemon


Method

In a large skillet, cook the carrot with the oil until just cooked through. Set aside to cool down a bit.

Mix the carrot with the yoghurt and garlic. Add salt and lemon juice.

Transfer to a serving plate. Serve with warm pita bread and falafel as a side.
It can also be served as a side for bbq meat and bread rolls.
