When I was a little girl, I was part of the Yoplait® craze that hit Nicaragua, and I preferred the natural flavor yogurt best. I would add a pinch of salt and put it in the freezer. There was nothing more refreshing on hot afternoons than sneaking to the refrigerator to enjoy a spoonful here and there. Years later, I’ve incorporated other add-ons (besides salt) in my repertoire, and roasted garlic is one of my favorites. I like the challenge of finding new recipes that will allow me to serve these creamy yogurt sauces, mixing them into my salads, adding a dollop to potatoes or corn, pairing with fish or chicken dishes and spreading over slices of toasted baguette. When I roast veggies, I take advantage of the warm oven to also roast some garlic, which I use to whip up this creamy yogurt sauce. I only need natural yogurt, olive oil, salt and pepper. I recommend preparing a batch of roasted garlic and storing it in a jar in the refrigerator with olive oil to keep it fresh. That way, you’ll have this savory ingredient on hand any time you need to make savory yogurt sauce in a pinch.
