Questions about Plain Greek yogurt
How can you tell Greek yoghurt from Greek-style yoghurt?
Greek yoghurt is traditionally made by straining yoghurt to remove some whey, which makes it thick and tangy. Greek-style yoghurt may be thickened by other methods, so check the ingredients if you want to know how it was made.
Can you cook with Greek yoghurt without it splitting?
Yes: take the pan off the heat and stir in the yoghurt at the end, rather than boiling it. For a hot sauce, first mix a spoonful of the warm sauce into the yoghurt, then stir that mixture back into the pan.
What is Greek yoghurt used for in tzatziki?
Its thick texture gives tzatziki body without making it runny. Grate cucumber, squeeze out as much liquid as you can, then mix it with Greek yoghurt, garlic, olive oil, lemon and chopped dill or mint.
Can Greek yoghurt replace sour cream?
Yes, use it in the same amount as a topping for baked potatoes, tacos or soups, or in dips. It tastes tangier and is thicker than many sour creams; add a little lemon juice if you want a sharper flavour.
How should you store Greek yoghurt after opening it?
Keep it covered in the fridge and use a clean spoon each time. Follow the pack’s storage and use-by instructions, and discard it if you see mould or notice an unusual smell.
Can you freeze Greek yoghurt?
You can freeze it in a sealed container, but thawed yoghurt may separate and turn grainy. Stir it well and use it in smoothies, baking or cooked sauces rather than expecting its original smooth texture.
What is the difference between Greek yoghurt and ordinary plain yoghurt?
Greek yoghurt is usually strained, so it is thicker and more concentrated; ordinary plain yoghurt is generally looser. For a similar consistency in a dip, you can drain plain yoghurt through a clean cloth in the fridge.
