How does it differ from regular yogurt?
Savoury rather than sweet - try making some tzatziki - it is the fcuken delish and good for you to:denser curd, as opposed to the gooey soup you get in domestic yogurt.
has a different flavor profile of some kind.
tastes good, though
This is probably my favorite condiment! If greek yogurt is to expensive you can buy a tub of natural plain yogurt and strain it with a cheese cloth. You wont save much money because it strains down a lot but it may be worth it when yogurt goes on sale.Savoury rather than sweet - try making some tzatziki - it is the fcuken delish and good for you to:
Ingredients
200ml Greek yoghurt
1 Lebanese cucumber (peeled, seeds removed and grated) or half a continental
1 clove of garlic crushed (Fcuk that - 4 cloves!)
1 teaspoon of lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
Method
peel the cucumber the cut it in half (length-ways) and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
Grate, then squeeze out the some of the liquid, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and put to the side.
Mix yoghurt, garlic, lemon, add cucumber together in a bowl and add salt and cracked pepper to taste.
The mix will keep in an airtight container for several days.
Serving suggestions
use as a dip with warm pita bread
on toast (sounds strange, but it tastes pretty good)
as a dressing on lamb.
