The original recipe for the White KEBAB sauce
White kebab sauce, also known as "yogurt sauce", is an essential accompaniment in Middle Eastern cuisine and has become popular around the world thanks to its delicious flavor and versatility. This sauce, with its creamy texture and fresh, slightly acidic flavor, perfectly complements the robust flavor of the kebab meat, as well as other dishes. Below, we present the original recipe for the white kebab sauce, which is easy to prepare and will delight your guests.
Ingredients and quantities
To prepare enough white kebab sauce for approximately 6-8 people, you will need the following ingredients:
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried dill (or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated cucumber (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
Preparation
Preparing the white kebab sauce is simple and quick, but it requires a little attention to ensure that all the flavors are properly integrated. Follow these steps:
Prepare the garlic: Start by peeling the garlic cloves. You can then finely chop them or, for a smoother texture and more uniform flavor, use a garlic press. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can crush the garlic in a mortar with a little salt until it forms a paste.
Mix the base ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and mayonnaise. Mix well until both ingredients are completely integrated. Greek yogurt is preferred for its thick, creamy texture, which gives body to the sauce.
Add the seasonings: Add the chopped or crushed garlic, lemon juice, white vinegar, cumin, dill, salt and black pepper. Mix all the ingredients until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. These seasonings will give the sauce its signature flavor: garlic adds a spicy touch, cumin adds depth, and dill offers a fresh herbal note.
Add the cucumber (optional): If you want a sauce with more freshness and a crunchy touch, you can add grated cucumber. Be sure to drain the grated cucumber well to remove excess water before adding it to the mixture. This will prevent the sauce from becoming too runny.
Add olive oil (optional): For an additional touch of softness and a light fruity flavor, you can add a tablespoon of olive oil. This also helps give the sauce an attractive shine.
Rest and adjust flavor: Once all the ingredients are well mixed, taste the sauce and adjust the salt and pepper according to your taste. It is advisable to let the sauce rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This standing time allows the flavors to integrate better and the sauce to acquire a thicker, more uniform consistency.
Serve the kebab white sauce
This sauce is extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes. Traditionally, it is served with lamb, beef or chicken kebabs, but is also excellent with falafel, shawarma, gyros, and as a salad dressing or accompaniment to raw vegetables.
Additional Tips
For a lighter version, you can substitute more Greek yogurt for the mayonnaise or use a low-fat mayonnaise.
If you prefer a more acidic sauce, add more lemon juice or a little more vinegar.
You can experiment with other herbs and spices such as fresh cilantro, mint, or a touch of paprika to give a unique flavor to your sauce.
The white kebab sauce recipe is a staple that not only enriches your meals, but also showcases the richness of Middle Eastern cuisine. Preparing it at home is simple and allows you to adjust the flavors according to your personal preferences.
