Quick Easy Home Made Yoghurt



Super Easy home made Yogurt

Yogurt is great for breakfast, healthy snacks, lunches, with desserts and fantastic with curries.

I have used this very simple way to make yogurt for years now and it comes out great every time. I use a wooden yogurt maker that is really just a box with a light in it or you could use a wide mouthed thermos, a hot water cupboard or your slow cooker or turn your oven on low, then turn it off and leave the yogurt overnight. In summer I put outside wrapped a towel (as light will destroy some vitamin content) and just leave until set.

How To:
  • Bring one pint (600 ml) of milk to the boil, cool until it is just lukewarm.
  • Add 2 Tablespoons of plain yogurt from the store - make sure it is plain yogurt with the live culture in it and not fruit mix or anything else. Best to buy a slightly more expensive purer yogurt as you can use it quite a while to make several batches.
  • Stir to disperse evenly and pour into a clean, sterilized container or glass jar.
  • If you prefer thicker yogurt then add several tablespoonfuls of powdered milk.
  • Leave to incubate until set in your method of choice for incubation - overnight will give you fresh yogurt for breakfast
  • Delicious with a drizzle of liquid honey over and Granola (see previous post)
  • Fantastic to use with your curries, casseroles too !

Silverbeet 'Cheesy' Chips

Image
Desperate for some Kale Chips and a garden full of Silver Beet had us experimenting again Man, we could almost taste those chips ! Topping to coat the Silver Beet Chips - a mix of Tamari, Tahini, Water, nutritional yeast, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds You can add salt like Himalayan if you like but taste it first as the Tamari and Nutritional yeast gives it enough salty taste. Coating the Beet with the dressing before dehydrating  Spreading out the Beet in the Dehydrator Trays - I am using a circular one here but a square larger one would work best if you do a lot of dehydrating ( and love Kale/Silver Beet chips!)  Get Dehydrators Finished chips ready and waiting to be demolished in double quick time

Vegetarian Cheese Sausages

Image
Vegetarian Cheese Sausages  Made these last week and they were yummy.  We also discovered they are very adaptable - try substituting  and adding different ingredients -  mushrooms, tomato and onion , garlic, make curried "sausages"   add horseradish or sage and our fave so far is the addition of fennel  but pineapple or apple and sage are yum too.     Here' s the recipe:   150 grams breadcrumbs -  use a lighter bread as heavily grained bread will break up and crumble too much - I used wholemeal for these 150 grams hard cheese - grated  1 onion, finely chopped  1 Tablespoon of herbs - thyme, or sage or your own choice  1 teaspoon mustard 1 Egg 4 Tablespoons milk  Beat egg and milk  Add other ingredients  Form into rissoles or sausage shapes Roll in flour  Fry in olive oil until golden  Experiment in using different coatings - scrunched up cornfla...
