Pick through the madimak herb and wash it in plenty of water.
Chop the madimak very finely with a cleaver or sharp knife.
Cut the pastirma into small pieces.
Fry the tomato paste and pastirma in the oil for 3 minutes.
Add the madimak, salt, red pepper flakes, and water, then cook covered for 18 minutes.
Crush the garlic into the yogurt.
Serve the madimak hot with the garlic yogurt.
💡 Tip: Chopping the madimak very finely keeps the stems from staying tough during the short cook.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with garlic yogurt and fresh village bread.
