Recipes using greek yogurt?

I eat it all the time - with fruit salad or I make a smoothie/shake after working out (adding ice and protien powder). also nice just with nuts and honey sprinkled over.

For savory, add chopped mint and cucumber and use as a dip.

Low Fat Chicken Tikka Masala

Sauce

Ingredients: (enough for about 2 lbs. of chicken or turkey meat):
28 oz can of diced tomatoes
6 oz can of tomato paste (or 1 1/2 cup tomato puree as an alternate)
1 cup fat free plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup chopped red onions
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice (approx from one small lemon)
1 tbsp fresh ginger root, shredded and chopped
1 tbsp crushed garlic
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp coriander powder
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp salt (to taste)
1 tsp honey (to taste)
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Add the can of tomato paste into a small bowl then make a puree by adding a can of water from the tomato paste can. Mix the crushed garlic and shredded ginger root into a paste in a separate bowl and set it aside. Add oil to a skillet and heat it up. Add the onions and cook for a few minutes, then add the can of diced tomatoes and the tomato paste puree.

Cook for a few minutes, and then add ground cumin and coriander powder. Add a little water if necessary. You want to cook it until it thickens, but you don’t want it thickening up too soon.

Cook for a few minutes, and then add paprika and cayenne pepper. Continue cooking until it looks like it will be done in a few minutes.

Stir it in thoroughly, and then add the garlic and ginger paste. Keep stirring and continue to cook for a few more minutes. The whole point here is not to cook too much after adding the garlic and ginger. You don’t want to cook away the flavor. You just want to infuse the flavors.

Cook it down until it is getting thick, and then add the yogurt. Stir it in real well, but don’t cook it too long – just a minute or so.

Finally, turn off the flame, add the lemon juice, then salt and honey to taste. Honey is 1-2 tsp. Calorie count is set for 1 tsp.

The cooking time is about 20 – 25 minutes total.

Place the cooked sauce into a bowl. Now it is ready to use to make chicken or turkey tikka masala. NOTE: if you're only cooking for a few people, the sauce freezes well.

2 lbs chicken skinless breast. Cut the meat up into small pieces and add to a skillet. Sear the meat over a high flame for a few minutes, then turn the flame down and add the sauce. Simmer for 7 or 8 minutes. Don’t overcook the meat so it is tender and juicy. Serve hot.

NOTE: The serving size is 4 oz. Nutrition count is 321 Calories / 27 g Carbs / 6 g. fat / 42 g. protein. Does not include rice. (I ate mine over 1/2 cup brown rice.)

I use it to replace sour cream. Higher protien content. Here is one of my fav:

Beef Stroganoff

1lb ground beef (you can use anything ground, chicken turkey...)
1 sm onion
1 cup fresh mushroom of choice (I like baby portabella, or you can use canned)
1 can cream of mushroom (fat free)
1/4 cup white wine (optional)
1/2 cup plain non fat Greek yogurt
1 tbs olive oil
egg noodles
Ground pepper


Sauté onions and mushrooms set aside
Brown meat add with onions and mushrooms season with pepper
Add wine stir well and let alcohol cook off for a bit
Add can of soup mix well
Remove from heat and add yogurt
Serve on top of egg noodles or your choice (rice, wheat pasta)

Sorry if this isn't exact I make this all the time and have no real recipe for it. You should give it a try, super quick and inexpensive and yummy! My kids fave (2 & 4)

Add wine

Add it to your curry instead of coconut cream or coconut milk. Also serve on the side as a "cooling" side dish for a hot curry.
What about Tzatziki dip - delicious

natural greek low or no-fat yoghurt
Lebanese cucumbers, deseeded, grated
garlic cloves, crushed
lemon juice
lemon pepper
salt

You could look up a recipe for actual measurements or just play around with flavours!
