Turkish Carrot dip.

In a large skillet, cook the carrot with the oil and some salt until just cooked through. Set aside to cool down a bit.

Mix the carrot with the yoghurt, garlic. Taste for salt and add lemon juice if needed.

Transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle sumac, paprika or garnish with parsley or dried mint, your choice.

I do a crunchy vegetable salsa and serve with natural corn chips for scooping:
- diced tomato
- diced cucumber (seeds removed)
- diced red onion
- diced avocado
- small tin of corn (or fresh)
- toasted pine nuts
- dress with lime, olive oil and sweet chilli.

Also you can't beat the classic sour cream and a jar of corn relish.
