Roasted garlic pureed in a with mortar and pestle, then mixed with cucumber puree and yogurt, mint leaves, and salt. Chilled.
Simple and delicious.
Should note this is not a traditional presentation and the traditional recipe modified somewhat. I think the traditional way is more of a cucumber salad, with the yogurt/garlic mixture acting as a dressing. The garlic doesn't seem to be typically roasted, and there are no pomegranates. I made this on a half-remembered recollection of what khyar bi laban is and improvised. This dish is interesting because it has elements of sweet and savory. The roasted garlic and pomegranate has a natural sweetness that is balanced by the earthy cucumber and the slightly acidic yogurt.
