COOKING WITH YOGURT
- Hints and Tips
* Always store FreshYo yogurt in your refrigerator.
* FreshYo yogurt is a great low calorie, high protein substitute in any recipe to replace cream, sour cream or mayonnaise to give a light, fresh, tangy flavour. However, if replacing milk or cream a slightly larger amount of yogurt may be needed.
* Bring FreshYo yogurt to room temperature before you begin cooking with it.
* Heat any dish containing FreshYo yogurt slowly on a low heat until it reaches serving temperature.
Yoghurt should not be heated quickly or boiled, otherwise it will curdle.
Yoghurt should be added as the last ingredient.
However, if FreshYo yogurt is to be added at the beginning of cooking you must stabilise it first to prevent curdling.
* When baking with FreshYo yogurt curdling will not occur, as flour is already an ingredient.
* Fold FreshYo yogurt, rather than stir, into other ingredients as this will help to retain its consistency.
* Heating FreshYo yogurt causes it to thin out, so it can be thickened by adding a small amount of flour, cornflour or arrowroot dissolved in a little cold water.
Tip
FreshYo yogurt’s fresh, mild flavour goes well with all types of fruit, vegetables, fish and meat.
