Herbed Yogurt Cheese
Not only does this dish have only 20 calories per
tablespoon, it will provide your guests with something truly
different from the ordinary Easter fare. You will need:
• Six cups of low-fat yogurt
• Two scallions, trimmed and minced
• Two tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• One tablespoon basil, chopped
• One clove of garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
1.) Line a colander with a large, thick paper towel
or a double thickness of cheesecloth. Place the yogurt in the towel
and put the colander in the sink. Allow to sit for fifteen minutes
before placing the colander in a bowl. There should be enough room
in the bottom of the bowl for liquid to drain out. Cover the
colander with plastic wrap and place the bowl and colander in the
fridge for 24 hours. After that time, remove from the fridge and
squeeze out any remaining liquid. The product is now yogurt cheese.
Place the yogurt cheese in a separate bowl. Can be kept in the
fridge for up to one week.
2.) Mix the yogurt cheese with the remaining
ingredients and serve.
