Thick sauce with yogurt and garlic is the quintessence of Greek cuisine, combining simplicity and rich flavor. Its roots trace back to the Mediterranean, where fresh herbs and dairy products play a central role in cooking. The delicate texture of yogurt harmonizes with the spiciness of garlic, the refreshing acidity of lemon, and aromatic notes of oregano. This sauce pairs perfectly with meat, vegetables, or bread, giving them a rich and refreshing taste. It is especially popular with roasted meat and pita, creating a traditional Greek aroma. The herbs add freshness while olive oil deepens the flavor. This sauce embodies homey comfort and Mediterranean delight, perfectly complementing any dish.
