Pulse Live twist to Garlic Sauce

The perfect, light and flavourful garlic sauce is made with plain yoghurt. Vanilla yoghurt could also work if it's not too sweet.

Also, ensure that you've completely crushed your garlic into a paste to avoid overwhelming chunks of raw garlic which may be a difficult taste to handle.

  • Pinch off 3-inch thick balls from the dough. Using a rolling pin flatten the dough balls and set aside.
  • On a skillet cook the wrap shells with a little oil to avoid sticking. Set aside to cool.
  • In a sauce pan, fry the chopped onions in some cooking oil. Add the Worcestershire sauce, spices and salt as well as the boiled beef strips and bell peppers.
  • After cooking for a few minutes, sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and turn off the heat.
  • In a bowl, pour in the plain yoghurt, crushed garlic, lemon juice, some powder chilli or paprika, the chopped coriander and whisk until well combined.
  • Prepare a simple lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber salad before proceeding to assembly.
