*Sommerlicher Krauter-Dip* in German, this recipe is from *Modern German Food* by Roz Denny. A colorful veggie mixture including cucumber sticks, carrot sticks, radishes, yellow & green bell pepper sticks & young celery stalks was suggested to accompany this herbed dip. *Enjoy* !
Ingredients:
250 g quark (may use cream cheese per note #1)
140 g low-fat yogurt (see note #2)
1 garlic clove (crushed)
2 green onions (finely chopped)
3 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
2 tablespoons fresh mint (chopped, may use coriander)
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and black pepper (to taste)
Directions:
1. Mix quark & yogurt in a mixing bowl. Add next 7 ingredients (garlic thru lemon juice).
2. Mix well, taste & season w/salt & pepper to pers pref. Chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hrs b4 serving.
3. NOTE #1: I confess I have not used Quark as an ingredient & do not know if I can get it here in Iceland. However, Roz said Quark makes a quick light dip & has fewer calories than richer cream cheese. Taking this cue from her, my assumption is cream cheese may be used as an alternative to quark.
4. NOTE #2: As written the recipe offered a choice of using single cream OR low-fat yogurt. I opted for the latter, but the former may be your choice. Feel free. :-).
