Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp olive oil
  • 12 green or purple salad onions, trimmed, outer layer removed, halved lengthways if bulbous
  • 1 thyme sprig, leaves picked
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated
  • 1 tsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • 6 sundried tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp hot paprika (or aleppo pepper flakes or chilli flakes)
  • 450g greek yoghurt
  • 4 pittas (or flatbreads), to serve (optional)

Method

  • Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the salad onions with the thyme and a pinch of salt; fry for 3-5 mins each side, until soft and lightly caramelised. Season, remove from the pan and keep warm.

  • Step 2

    Wipe the pan clean with kitchen towel and return to the heat with the remaining oil. When hot but not smoking, stir in the garlic, and coriander and fennel seeds; fry for 1-2 mins. Season lightly. Add the tomatoes and paprika or chilli flakes, stir for 20 secs, then remove from the heat.

  • Step 3

    Season the yoghurt with salt and pepper, then spread it over a large plate. Top with the salad onions and spoon over the hot spiced oil. Serve with pitta or flatbread, if you like.
