Latvian daily Latvijas Avīze has published a recipe for a green salad with pan-fried cherry tomatoes and a garlic yoghurt dressing. It can be served as a light dinner or as a side dish with meat.
The Latvian newspaper Latvijas Avīze published a recipe on 29 October for a salad with quickly pan-fried cherry tomatoes. The dish is vegetarian and can be served as a light evening meal or as a side to a main course. It is described as a good match for various meat dishes.
Ingredients
- cherry tomatoes – 400 grams;
- mixed salad greens – 75 grams;
- garlic – 3 cloves;
- plain yoghurt – 200 grams;
- olive oil – 55 ml;
- salt and ground black pepper – to taste.
Preparation
First, halve the cherry tomatoes. Heat olive oil in a pan and fry the tomatoes on both sides until the skin turns slightly brown while the tomato itself stays juicy. Then take the pan off the heat.
Next, mix the yoghurt with olive oil. Finely chop or crush the garlic and stir it into the yoghurt mixture, then add salt and pepper to taste.
Finally, pour the dressing over the salad greens and place the fried tomatoes on top once they have cooled slightly.
The newspaper presents the recipe as a simple dinner option that does not call for complicated ingredients or long cooking.
