Yogurt Recipes

I have had an EasiYo yogurt maker for ages and I have used it quite a bit but I have now got a good, reasonable source of the powders so I will be using it more. I have just got some Greek yogurt to make and was searching for recipes. The following are from the website with some notes from me on what I think I can do with each one.

BLUE CHEESE DIP

• ½ cup drained EASIYO Yogurt (drained overnight)
• ½ tsp lemon juice
• ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
• 1 pinch of salt

From preference I would use Stilton cheese and I would leave the salt out. Just mash the cheese in with all the other ingredients and leave for a few hours for the flavours to develop.

SALMON MOUSSE

• 425g canned salmon
• 1 1/2 tbsp gelatine
• 1 cup drained EASIYO yogurt (4-5 hours)
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp lemon rind
• 1 cup EASIYO yogurt
• dash of Tabasco to taste
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 3 sprig onions, finely chopped
• salt and ground pepper
• fresh basil to garnish

I would use smoked salmon offcuts for this, probably cheaper than canned salmon and certainly tastier.

Mix gelatine with water and heat until dissolved.

Mash salmon and blend with drained yogurt, lemon juice, lemon rind, the extra EASIYO yogurt, Tabasco and nutmeg.

Fold in dissolved gelatine and spring onions. Season to taste.

Pour mixture into lightly oiled 1 litre mould. Smooth the top and refrigerate until set.

For serving, quickly dip the bottom of the mould into hot water to loosen, then turn onto serving plate. Garnish with fresh basil

Use a fish shaped mould for a special occasion.

LOUISIANA YOGURT DRESSING

2 cloves garlic
• 2 shallots
• 1 teaspoon tabasco sauce
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• ½ cup Easi Yo Natural Yogurt


Crush, peel and finely chop garlic. Peel and finely slice shallots.
Mix garlic, shallots, tabasco sauce and vinegar and yogurt together.

Do you know I wouldn't change a thing with this, sounds wonderful.

YOGURT SATAY SAUCE

• ½ cup EASIYO yogurt
• 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
• ¼ cup peanut butter
• ½ tsp chilli sauce
• 1/8 tsp ground ginger

Mix them all together and taste, adjust the seasoning if necessary.
