Remove the stems from the green peppers and cut them into large pieces.
Mix the strained yogurt, crushed garlic, and half the salt in a bowl.
Heat the olive oil in a pan, add the peppers, and cook for 13 minutes, turning occasionally.
Add the remaining salt to the peppers, remove from the pan, and cool for 5 minutes.
Spread the garlic yogurt on a serving plate and arrange the peppers on top.
Turn the red pepper flakes in the pan oil for 30 seconds and drizzle over the borani.
💡 Tip: Cook the peppers without a lid; if they soften under steam, they leave watery texture in the yogurt instead of a lively roasted bite.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve biber borani on a cold meze plate with optional toasted bread and olives for a tea table.
