Cumin-Cilantro Yogurt Sauce

My recipes are low carb paleo: fresh,healthy, whole food ingredients with very few starches, no sugars, no vegetable oils. The health of my spouse and myself has improved dramatically eating this way.

Looking for a sauce to accompany poached chicken and fish, we took inspiration from the yogurt-based sauces of Middle Eastern cooking. The rich texture and tangy flavor of the yogurt, mixed with a few spices, perfectly complemented the mild flavor and juicy, tender texture of poached fish and chicken.

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 shallot, minced

1 garlic clove, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes

½ cup plain whole-milk yogurt

⅓ cup water

1 teaspoon lime juice

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
