10 minSometimes the simplest recipes are the most craveable, and this yogurt sauce proves it.
Just dice up some purple onion, stir it into creamy yogurt with a generous crack of black pepper, and let time do the work. As it sits, the sharp bite of raw onion mellows into something sweet and mellow while the yogurt gets infused with its flavor.
This is the kind of versatile condiment that Middle Eastern cooks keep in the fridge to dollop on everything.
Kitchen Tips
- Purple (red) onion is traditional and adds beautiful color, but yellow onion works too
- The longer it sits, the better it gets; overnight is ideal for fully melded flavors
- Adjust black pepper to taste; some like it subtle, others want serious kick
- Serve cold as a cooling contrast to spicy or rich dishes
