Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams plain yogurt
- 100 grams white rice
- 1000 milliliters water
- 1 piece egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon dried mint
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
Instructions
Start by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a large pot, bring 1000 ml of water to a boil. Add the rinsed rice and simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
While the rice is cooking, in a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, egg yolk, and flour until smooth and creamy.
Once the rice is cooked, reduce the heat to low and slowly add the yogurt mixture to the pot. Stir continuously to prevent curdling.
Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until the soup thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Ensure it doesn't come to a boil.
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and dried mint, stirring to combine.
In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat until it becomes slightly golden and aromatic. Pour it over the soup for added flavor.
Garnish with finely chopped fresh dill before serving to add a refreshing touch.
Serve the yogurt soup hot, with crusty bread or as an elegant appetizer.
