Marissa's MediterraneanA vibrant, shareable appetizer featuring thick Greek yogurt swirled with warm, spiced butter and topped with fresh herbs. Perfect for dipping warm pita bread!
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt until smooth. Spread the mixture onto a shallow serving plate, creating a few decorative swirls with the back of a spoon.
Room temperature yogurt spreads more easily and feels better on the palate than ice-cold yogurt.
In a small skillet or saucepan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Once the butter begins to foam slightly, stir in the red pepper flakes and dried mint. Heat for 1-2 minutes until the butter turns a beautiful golden-red and smells fragrant.
Watch the butter closely; it can go from golden to burnt very quickly!
