4 minutes, 4 ingredients, infinite ways to use it
At Westward in Seattle, where Will Gordon is the executive chef, the culinary team prepares for weekend brunchers who come by car, bike and kayak. Year-round, they can't get enough of his comforting lamb hash served with a versatile cardamom yogurt: a recipe that works as a condiment, dipping sauce, marinade, dessert and everything in between.
Gordon warns that the key to this recipe's simplicity is restraint: Overeagerness throws everything off. "It's very versatile if you use it subtly," he says. To make the profile taste more like a raita, he suggests adding coriander, garlic and citrus.
