Have you made yogurt cheese? It is a great way to make your yogurt thicker to any degree. Just pour into a fine cheese cloth, tie the ends, let it hang and drip into a bowl (I use a wide vase) A short drip of 2-4 hours will just give you a creamier yogurt like a Greek yogurt. 4-6 hours yields a great sour cream replacement that makes great veggie dips. To make a cream cheese consistency, you will need to drip for 6 hours, open cloth, scrape, stir and turn contents to loosen, then drip 4 more hours. For this recipe I used a cheese somewhere between sour cream and cream cheese.
4 ounces smoked salmon
1 small shallot, finely minced
¼ cup fresh herbs, minced
4 ounces yogurt cheese
¼ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour to let flavors meld. Spread on a fresh English muffin.

ReplyDeleteLove this dip, anything with yogurt is my favorite. Thanks for sharing with Hearth and soul blog hop.
ReplyDeleteYup. I was right. The hubby loved it! I was wondering what herbs you used and if I didn't have them, what dry ones might work.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I wondered about the size of shallot you used. A whole one seemed like too much so I didn't add it all.
I used dill, oregano and parsley one time and mint and tarragon another time. You should be able to use dry herbs like basil, thyme, oregano and dill.
ReplyDeleteI used a pretty small shallot. It was about 1 heaping tablespoon once chopped.
