Recipe: Moroccan Goat Yogurt with Dates and Preserved Lemon
Summary: Earthy, sweet-tart flavor makes a surprising breakfast, elegant lunch or snack that strays far from the usual over-sweetened yogurt path.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon extremely finely minced preserved lemon rind [1] (purchased or made yourself [1]; see first direction in recipe)
- 1 (6-ounce) container Redwood Hill Farm Plain Goat Milk Yogurt
- 6-7 pitted dates, finely minced (Deglet Noor work well, or Medjool)
- Handful of toasted walnuts
Instructions
- Make sure the preserved lemon rind is rinsed well before you mince it. Mince enough to make 1 teaspoon. Add to a small bowl.
- Add yogurt and 6 minced dates to the bowl, and stir well. Taste, and add the final date if you want it sweeter. Scrape yogurt into a serving dish or pretty glass, and top with toasted walnuts.
- Serves 1.
