Maast-o khiar (Persian Cucumber Yogurt)
*NOTE: This is an 'essential' accompaniment to a Persian/Iranian meal! It is especially good with meat (kebabs, perhaps, as they also originated in the Persian Empire) and flat bread.
-1 (32 ounce) container plain yogurt
-3 English cucumbers, peeled and cubed (Note: Shredded may be more traditional)
-1 shallot, finely chopped
-5 Tbsp. dried dill weed (mint may also be substituted...or added)
-1 tsp salt
-1 tsp pepper
(garlic was also on the ingredient list, but i removed it as apparently garlic is not a traditional ingredient)
1) In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, cucumbers, and shallot. Season with dill, salt and pepper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to blend flavors.
