What to keep in mind.
6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- 2Toast raw almonds in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes to deepen their nutty flavor if yours are not already roasted.
- 3Chop dried apricots into uniform small pieces so they distribute evenly in every bite.
- 4For extra sweetness without honey, soak chopped apricots in warm water for 5 minutes before using.
- 5Make ahead by pre-chopping apricots and almonds; store separately and assemble just before serving.
- 6Let the yogurt sit at room temperature for 5 minutes after assembling to take the chill off and enhance flavors.
