Trin for trin
- 1
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves using a garlic press or a sharp chef's knife.
Ca. 2 min.
Kokkens note: For a milder garlic flavor, you can grate the garlic or even roast it lightly before mincing.
- 2
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and fresh dill, ensuring they are well-minced for even distribution of flavor.
Ca. 3 min.
Kokkens note: To chop herbs efficiently, stack the leaves, roll them tightly, and slice thinly, then chop across the slices.
- 3
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the strained yogurt, minced garlic, finely chopped fresh mint, dried mint, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Ca. 3 min.
Kokkens note: Ensure your yogurt is well-strained; excess liquid will result in a thinner, less authentic Haydari texture. If your yogurt isn't thick enough, you can strain it further through cheesecloth for a few hours.
- 4
Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until they are well combined and the mixture appears smooth and uniform.
Ca. 2 min.
Kokkens note: Mix gently but completely to avoid over-aerating the yogurt, which can change its texture.
- 5
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or an airtight lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to chill thoroughly.
Ca. 1 t.
Kokkens note: For the best flavor development, consider chilling the Haydari overnight. This allows the garlic and herbs to fully infuse the yogurt.
- 6
Before serving, remove the Haydari from the refrigerator and give it a final stir. Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.
Ca. 1 min.
Kokkens note: The flavors will intensify after chilling, so taste before adding more seasoning.
- 7
Transfer the Haydari to a serving dish and garnish with the finely chopped fresh dill and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a pop of color and a hint of warmth.
Ca. 1 min.
Kokkens note: A final drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil just before serving can add a beautiful sheen and enhance the overall richness.

Bevar den gode smag
Haydari is incredibly versatile. Serve it as part of a traditional Turkish meze spread with warm pita bread, alongside grilled chicken or lamb, or as a refreshing dip for vegetable sticks. For a slightly different flavor profile, you can experiment with adding a pinch of sumac or a squeeze of lemon juice. It also pairs wonderfully with a crisp, dry white wine.
Store leftover Haydari in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Haydari is best served chilled and does not require reheating.
