Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I love yogurt cheese. I drained a tub of yogurt today and I could just sit and eat it all up. Unfortunately my husband is not a fan of plain unsweetened yogurt so the condensed version is not something he enjoys. Rather than eat it all up myself, I am wondering what I can make out of it. any suggestions? I actually bought 3 large tubs of yogurt on sale so want to drain more of it later in the week.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I haven't had yogurt cheese for a long time, but I still recall one of our favorites. We'd mix it with brown sugar and cinnamon and use that as a spread for bagels. Monday, April 6, 2009, 7:38:12 PM, you wrote: > I love yogurt cheese.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Greetings, I lived in the Middle-East where the cheese is called " labenh " . I usually drain it in a strainer lined with cheesecloth in the fridge for a few days for a firmer texture. I add a small amount of salt to mellow the flavor. I mix in finely chopped olives, jalapenos, and garlic for a pita spread. It is reminiscent of the cream cheese and olive sandwiches that my mother used to make for my school lunch. When purchased in a store, the labenh is usually sold in small balls that are coated with spice mixtures which may include pepper, cumin, and mint. Sun-dried tomatoes are always a good additive, too. It is generally stored in olive oil. , " Audrey Z Burrows " <quiltbug wrote: > > I love yogurt cheese. I drained a tub of yogurt today and I could just sit and eat it all up.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I'm exited to have 2 ideas for my yogurt cheese - one sweet and one savoury. Unfortunately I have eaten all the cheese just the way it was and now need to make more. I am thinking the savoury idea might appeal more to my husband so will try to come up with a few additions that will appeal to him. I don't like olives and he doesn't like jalapenos but garlic and sun dried tomatoes and spices should work. thank for the ideas Audrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
