  • Sprinkle it liberally with soft dark brown sugar or muscavado sugar, leave in the fridge for half an hour or so. the sugar melts and makes a brulee type dessert. Or stir in some runny honey or maple syrup. Scatter some almonds on too.
  • I mix it with mint sauce and chopped cucumber to make a lovely Raita dip to have with curry or even just with toasted pitta bread.

    For something sweeter mix in some runny honey, sultanas and a sprinkle of cinammon on top - tasty and healthy.:D

    Brown some turmeric, cumin, garam masala, chilli powder, onion - add cubed beef or lamb, brown that too. once meat is browned add a big couple of tablespoons. Cover and cook on a slow heat for 45 minutes or more adding a little water along the way...Meat Bhuna.
    Alternatively stir in Honey - like the greeks do. Yum

    Tried this only because i had soft dark brown sugar in!! left it for 1/2 hr and it is absoloutly(SP) scrummy!! OH and kid's loved it!!
    Thankyou ( i would have probably ended up throwing it in the bin!!)
    I haven't told them i got the idea from you they just think they've got a very clever mummy!!LOL:rotfl:
  • So glad you liked it. I do this with my hm yogurt which usually turns out very thick like Greek. I do it in little ramekins or glass tumblers and I quite often put grapes or fruit puree or berries in the bottom first. It make a nice, quick, easy healthy pud.

    Oooooh the sugar thing sounds divine!

    I like yoghurt mixed with eg sunflower seeds and chopped strawberries/raspberries etc. Or in smoothies. Or with puddings instead of custard. Mmmmmmmmmm ...!
  • I recently tried a recipe with greek yoghurt which was nice. Problem is the recipe only required a blob and my supermarket only sells big cartons of greek yoghurt. I didn't know what to use it for so it ended up down the sink.

    Can anyone recommend some ways of using greek and/or natural yoghurt so I don't have to throw away a whole carton every time I want to use a little bit.

    All the supermarkets sell 'Total' Greek Yogurt in small tubs, if not their
    own-brand version. Use it on fruit and fruit salad, instead of cream on puddings, fruit fools, add to mashed potato etc or other things you'd add milk/cream to. Make your own 'dips'.
