Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Turkish yogurt (or plain whole milk yogurt)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 50 grams Dried apricots, chopped
- 50 grams Dried figs, chopped
- 30 grams Raisins
- 30 grams Almonds, roughly chopped
- 30 grams Pistachios, roughly chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg, grated
- 1 pinch Salt
- 5 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the Turkish yogurt in a large bowl and whisk it until smooth. Set aside in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat, then add the butter and allow it to melt completely.
Add the chopped dried apricots, figs, and raisins to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften and caramelize slightly.
Add the almonds and pistachios to the pan and toast them lightly while stirring for another 2 minutes.
Sprinkle the cinnamon powder, grated nutmeg, and a pinch of salt over the fruit and nut mixture. Stir well to coat evenly and let cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat.
Drizzle the honey over the warm sautéed fruit and nuts, stirring gently to combine.
To serve, divide the yogurt evenly among four small bowls. Spoon the warm sautéed fruit and nut mixture over the top of each serving.
Optionally, garnish each bowl with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and fresh aroma.
Serve immediately for a delightfully warm and creamy dessert or snack.
