Strained yogurt with atom is a Turkish meze made with thick strained yogurt topped with hot butter or oil infused with chili peppers. Some versions mix garlic into the yogurt, and the type and heat of the peppers vary.
Spread strained yogurt in a serving dish, adding crushed garlic if you like. Briefly warm chili flakes or dried hot peppers in butter, then spoon the hot, peppery butter over the yogurt just before serving.
Strained yogurt with atom is usually spicy, but the heat comes mainly from the chili topping and varies by recipe. For a milder version, use less hot pepper or replace some of it with sweet paprika.
Strained yogurt with atom is generally served with a cool yogurt base and warm chili butter on top. The butter is poured on shortly before serving, so it adds warmth and aroma without turning the whole dip hot.
Strained yogurt with atom is served as a meze with bread or pita, and it also pairs well with grilled vegetables and meats. Put it alongside milder dips if you want to balance the chili heat.
Strained yogurt with atom may contain garlic, but it is not essential to the dish. Many recipes stir crushed garlic into the yogurt; use a small amount if you want the chili butter to remain the main flavor.
Yes, strained yogurt with atom is a common version of Turkish atom meze. It combines strained yogurt with a spicy butter or oil topping, though recipes differ in their choice of peppers and whether they include garlic.
Yes, strained yogurt with atom is easy to make at home with strained yogurt, butter, and chili. Warm the chili briefly in the butter and pour it over the yogurt; avoid browning or burning the pepper, which can make it taste bitter.
Keep strained yogurt with atom covered in the refrigerator and eat it within two days. The butter topping may solidify when chilled, so let the dish sit briefly at room temperature before serving, and do not leave it out for an extended time.
To make strained yogurt with atom less spicy, use less of the chili butter or stir extra plain strained yogurt into the dip. Serving it with bread can also soften the sensation of the heat.

Strained yogurt with atom is a Turkish meze: thick, tangy strained yogurt topped with butter heated with hot pepper, sometimes with garlic added. Its cool creaminess balances the fragrant, spicy topping. In Turkey it is served as part of a spread of small dishes, often alongside grilled food and bread; elsewhere, it also works well as a dip or a punchy side for roasted vegetables.
The yogurt contributes protein, while the butter makes the topping richer. For a lighter version, use less butter and chili, or serve a smaller portion with fresh vegetables.
