By BobD

When this creamy sauce, inspired by Georgian bazhe, is first made, the onion flavor is intense, but it mellows overnight.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups walnuts (1/2 pound)
• 1 1/2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt
• 2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
• 1 small garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 small onion, minced
• Salt
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced basil leaves

Preparation

Step 1

In a food processor, puree the walnuts, yogurt and Sriracha; transfer to a bowl. Fold in the garlic and onion, season with salt and refrigerate overnight. Just before serving, garnish the sauce with the basil.
