Method
Line a sieve with a clean muslin cloth and set it over a bowl. Spoon in the yoghurt, cover and leave to strain in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Tip the strained yoghurt into a mixing bowl, discarding the drained liquid.
Crush the garlic and stir it through the strained yoghurt with the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice and fine sea salt.
Fold the chopped dill and mint through the yoghurt mixture.
Spread the haydari onto a serving plate, drizzle with a little more olive oil and scatter over the Aleppo pepper.
