Mezes are appetizers served in small portions mainly to complement drinks in Turkey. Whenever I go to a fish restaurant or a kebab house, I’m torn between the mezes and the main dishes. There are so many cold and hot mezes to choose from and most of the time I end up choosing way too many mezes and skipping the main or regretting to have ordered it…
Yoghurt is widely used in Turkish cuisine and mezes are no exception. Here is an easy meze dish. You can replace the zucchini with carrots, spinach, eggplant, etc.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 zucchini (medium)
- 1 onion (small)
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic

- Sautee the onions in olive oil, add the zucchinis, salt and continue to sautee until cooked
- Transfer to a plate
- Smash the garlic
- Add to the zucchinis together with yogurt
- Mix everything together
- Garnish with fresh dill or parsley
