The CookingBites recipe challenge: Yoghurt

[badjak]

That is full fat Greek yoghurt straining for 24hrs. Its a sharp tasting cream cheese, I suppose. The question is, what do I do with it (and the whey)?

I do that when I make yoghurt.
Fresh milk, heat, cool, add Greek yoghurt, let sit then drain for about 24 hours.
I then eat it like yoghurt....
(2.5 litre milk ends up with just over 750 ml whey, so about 1.75 litre yoghurt.
The milk cost me 25 kwacha.
0.5 litre yoghurt in the shop is 30 kwacha)

Not come up with a use for yogurt whey. A possible souring agent perhaps.

I've started using mine to make bread and karadekoolaid mentioned using it to cook rice. The tang it adds to the rice is good with sweet/sour/spicy dishes.

A recipe coming up from me using whey. And its not bread or rice ( though both are good).

That's a thought. Does whey on its own count as yoghurt for recipe challenge purposes?

I hope so! I made the whey from the yoghurt so I don't see why not. But as I hate winning it won't matter if the judge disqualifies me!

I very nearly included the labneh I made in the recipe too...
