yogurt

[libitina]

So I was going to make tzatziki sauce to go with some chicken I was making for a social gathering, but then I cleaned my apartment instead.

So I have a quart of plain non-fat yogurt that I drained to make Greek-style yogurt... and no inspiration for what to do with it. A whole quart of it - all for me. That's a lot of dairy.

Other miscellaneous things I have in my fridge for it to go with:

• leftover cooked rice - both brown and white
• roasted garlic
• lime
• liquid from reconstituting mushrooms
• pan juices from cooked chicken (what? I try not to waste - even if I am dieting-ish and the juices are mostly fat)
• broccoli
• a lot of salad greens - liek whoah
• tortillas
• harissa
• a ton of random condiments from many cuisines
• an acorn squash
• new potatoes

All these suggestions sound delicious. Mine feels very boring in comparison - new potato salad with yoghurt dressing. I don't like sour cream or mayonaise dressings with potatoes, so I just boil up some cubed potatoes, add some other veges chopped up for interest (like mushrooms, tiny broccoli florets or peas or whatever - I would totes add grated squash) just before they're cooked and then drain and leave to cool slightly. Dollop on yoghurt and your choice of additions - chopped garlic or onion, roasted garlic, mint, black pepper, capsicums (um, yellow, red or green bell peppers) and stir. I eat it slightly warm. I would probably layer it on top of some salad greens and just eat it like that.
