Moby dick recipe for cucumber yogurt and rice?.

[Anonymous]

Anyone who can help? I've tried tons of recipes online for the yogurt sauce. It just doesn't taste the same. What's their secret? How about the rice? It seems it has butter and chicken broth?

The rice has butter and saffron. The type of rice matters - you need basmati. Google persian rice for exact instructions.

The yogurt sauce is shredded cucumber, dried mint, salt and pepper with plain yogurt.

You can get dried mint at saffron at middle eastern stores.

seriously just order big catering trays of the rice and cucumber yogurt from Moby Dick. Save yourself the hassle and stress this holiday season. And support a local business.

I make mine a little different I guess. I use fresh dill instead of the dried mint, and add a lot of lemon. I make homemade shish tawook and use it with that and its wonderful.

Moby Dick is a Persian restaurant so the yogurt sauce is not a Greek tsatziki sauce. What I've had there is mast-o-masir, a shallot yogurt sauce, see this link. I recommend using a whole milk Greek yogurt to make it (same thing as lebni) - http://www.mypersiankitchen.com/mast-o-musir/

And lots of salt.
