-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups plain yogurt -- drained
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil -- divided
1 medium yellow onion -- finely chopped
1 pound carrots -- coarsely grated
4 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons paprika
Place a colander inside a bowl. Add plain yogurt. Set in the refrigerator
for 6 hours or overnight. Reserve juices.
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Saute the
onions, stirring slowly, for 5 minutes. Do not let them brown. Add
carrots, stirring to mix well, and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat,
and let cool.
Crush the garlic and salt together in a mortar and pestle or with a knife
on a chopping board.
Combine the cooled carrots with drained yogurt and garlic mixture in a
large bowl.
In a small bowl, combine remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and paprika.
Pour mixture over the carrot, making a swirl design. Serve chilled or at
room temperature.

AuthorNote: This delicious Turkish dish will make a carrot lover out of
everyone. It has been adapted from Sheilah Kaufman's A Taste of Turkish
Cuisine. It is traditionally served with olives.
Don't discard the leftover liquid after having drained the yogurt. In the
eastern Mediterranean, refreshing drinks are made with this liquid and
served on warm days.
ChupaNote: this makes a wonderful dip for raw vegetables, served cool or
at room temperature. It is also delicious on veggie burgers. On toasted
baguette it is a lovely bruschetta or crostini topping. Toss with whole
grain pasta, sliced olives, capers, minced cilantro/parsley/mint and
crumbled feta for a wonderful summer pasta salad.
