Instructions
Step 1
Make the yogurt sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the garlic and lemon juice and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in the yogurt and season to taste with kosher salt; set the yogurt sauce aside.
Step 2
Make the tomato sauce: Melt the butter over medium heat. Allow the foam to subside and the milk solids to brown lightly, about 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the tomato. Simmer in the brown butter until the tomato is soft and jammy, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with kosher salt and set aside.
