Straining my yogurt

[chrisbarnes]

I've just strained my yogurt. Separated my curds. Squeezed out some whey

You can use the whey in bread dough - just substitute for water or other liquid. It adds a nice sourdoughy taste.

And if you press your yoghurt - i.e. stick a weight on top of it in the colander for a few days - you can make qvark - a kind of yoghurt cheese, which can then be made into balls and stored in olive oil with garlic and rosemary or other herbs. Seriously yummy stuff.

Good tips. I remember you made yogurt cheese some time ago. I'll give that a try later.

You could throw the whey on your lawn: Whey-Hay!

Oh, Chuck. Whey too much. :-)
