For a milder garlic flavor, sauté the minced garlic with the onion at the beginning. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water to reach your desired consistency. This dish is delicious served warm with pita bread, crudités, or as a filling for sandwiches or wraps. A dollop of plain yogurt or a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro) adds a lovely finishing touch.

Nov 13, 2024I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The garlic flavor was a little strong for my taste, so next time I will sauté it with the onion.
