Make yogurt cheese and add your favourite herbs and spices to make a
dip/spread (I use Penzey's Sunny Paris).

Use it in a loaf cake--Barb just posted a banana bread that called for sour
cream recently. You could substitute yogurt for the sc. I used to have a
lemon pound cake (fake pound cake) recipe from Better Homes and Gardens that
I did the same with.

Yogurt is also good dribbled with honey and sprinkled with nuts. Yum!

Make yogurt cheese? Strain it overnight in a coffee filter lined
colander, then you can use it like cream cheese. There must be a
gazillion uses for yogurt cheese.

Or, use it as is in the place of sour cream, like in dips and
sauces?

I've successfully used plain yogurt instead of sour milk in recipes for
baked goods such as muffins and cakes. In fact, I make this
substitution so often that I no longer pay much attention to which one
I'm using. I'll look in the fridge and use milk soured with a little
vinegar if that's what I have on hand or use yogurt if I have some since
that's one less step.

I got this awhile ago. It may sound strange, but is quite good:


Ottoman empire Yogurt Soup

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour
1 quart chicken broth
1 cup barley
1 tablespoon kosher salt
3 cups yogurt -- plain
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch mint leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika -- or Kirmizi biber or Aleppo pepper

Melt the butter over medium heat in a large heavy pot. Just when the foam
subsides, add the flour and form a roux. Pour in the chicken broth and
continue to stir constantly. Bring the mixture to a simmer and then add the
barley and salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low heat, cover and simmer until
the barley is tender; anywhere from 15-30 minutes.

While the soup cooks, blend the yogurt and egg yolks, in a large bowl, until
smooth.

After the barley is tender, lower the heat and gradually whisk in the yogurt
mixture and cook until it begins to simmer.

While the soup is coming back to a simmer, place the olive oil into a small
sauté pan, add the mint and paprika. Heat until the mix is a golden color.
When the soup is near a simmer, stir the mixture into the pot and serve.

Aleppo pepper is a middle eastern pepper of about 15k scoville units.


Good Luck,

Marinate chicken or lamb pieces in it, and follow your favorite Indian
recipe.

Add scallions, mint, cilantro, and jalapeno to make a sauce to serve with
grilled chicken breasts and chick peas.

Put yogurt and fruit in a blender and make a smoothie.

Make a mango lassi.

COUNTRY CORNBREAD
(Source: Parade Magazine, Beth Merriman, Food Editor)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~
Preheat oven to 400 deg. Grease an 8x8" baking pan.

1 c enriched cornmeal
1 c all purpose flour
1/4 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

1 carton (8 oz) plain yogurt
1/4 c vegetable oil
1 egg

Sift together dry ingredients (I just put them in a bowl and mix them
with a big spoon). In another bowl blend yogurt, oil, and egg. Add dry
ingredients and mix just until blended (do not overmix). Pour into
prepared pan.

Bake 20 min at 400 deg until toothpick comes out clean. Do not
overbake! The top will be flecked with brown rather than uniformly so.

Use them as a base for smoothies. Add banana, berries, etc.
and moosh in a blender. Hmmm, I wonder if you could make
a sort of eggless eggnog with yogurt as a base?

Make Tsatsaki sauce for a Greek meal.

definately Lassi's. Mango is great, but almost any berry would be fine.

If you eat hot cereal, it adds a nice tang instead of pouring cream
or milk over it.

Sweeten it (honey works well) and use it for a fruit dip.

I used yogurt for the rest .. best oatmeal cookies I have ever made!!

Lots of good ideas here.
An easy one is get some very good raspberry or other flavor preserves,
place in the bottom of a cup, spoon yogurt over the top and you have
"fruit on the bottom" yogurt. Add peanuts, almonds, cashews, etc. for
added crunch.
