Cucumber, green-sour plums and yoghurt
Cucumber and yoghurt is one good way to eat something refreshing and cooling.
I love unripe green plums and would happily have them chilled dipped in sea salt. They are also great here as they do provide a crunch and another source of acidity to the dish.
This is how to make it
In a large mixing bowl, combine 500g thick yoghurt
100g crumbled feta
1 fat clove of garlic, crushed,
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon of each roughly chopped coriander, dill and mint
1/4 teaspoon dried mint
1 large green chilli, deseeded and chopped
1 large cucumber, peeled and diced
10 chopped green plums, cut into segments
Mix well and then spoon the mixture into serving plate. Garnish with roughly chopped toasted almonds, dried rose petals, nigella seeds and a good drizzle of olive oil.
