Greek Dishes that Involve Yogurt

[nm1999]

I love Greek yogurt and I thought I would make a list of Greek foods that use it. I also love to serve either yogurt or tzatziki, with a variety of different Greek foods.

Here are the dishes:

• Tzatziki
• The yogurt, honey, walnut breakfast/dessert
• Some versions of kopanisti (not sure I agree with this)
• Some versions of spanakopita - I really do know some Greeks who do this, but I didn't realize people did this
• There is a creamy pasta dish that uses Greek yogurt

Can you think of any others? The pasta dish, especially, is quick and easy. I find that dishes that involve Greek yogurt are usually pretty simple.

Hi nm1999,

I love Greek yogurt, and I love using it in my cooking. I love a yogurt cake that’s drench in honey syrup, also greek yogurt ice cream with sour cherry spoon sweet on the top (to die for). As for savory cooking, there are plenty of pasta dishes you can use greek yogurt. Even pastitsio or mousaka can be made with a Greek yogurt sauce instead of bechamel sauce for a lighter version. You can add greek yogurt in Tiropita as well.

I make a great cake with yogurt that involves orange zest and an orange glaze. It's a classical French-style yogurt cake but I use Greek yogurt with great results. This is something you could try!
