Description

This Chutney-Glazed Yogurt Spread is a delightful fusion of creamy, tangy yogurt and sweet, spicy chutney. The base is made from homemade thick yogurt, strained to achieve a rich, dense texture similar to labneh or Greek yogurt. It is mixed with sharp shredded cheddar and warm curry powder, creating a sophisticated flavor profile that is both comforting and exotic. Topped with a generous layer of fruit chutney and fresh green onions, this spread offers a beautiful contrast of textures and tastes. It is perfect for appetizer platters, serving with plain toast rounds, or as a unique condiment for sandwiches. Simple to prepare ahead of time, it allows the flavors to meld beautifully in the refrigerator, making it an elegant yet easy addition to any gathering.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Line a 6-inch strainer with a basket-style paper coffee filter or a double layer of cheesecloth.
  2. Place the strainer over a bowl to catch the draining liquid.
  3. Spoon 4 cups of plain nonfat yogurt into the lined strainer.
  4. Cover the strainer and bowl, then refrigerate for at least 12 hours, draining the liquid from the bowl occasionally until the yogurt is very thick.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the thickened yogurt, 1/2 cup shredded lowfat Cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion, and 1/2 teaspoon curry powder.
  6. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
  7. Spread the yogurt mixture evenly, about 3/4-inch thick, in a shallow 8-inch serving dish.
  8. Top the yogurt spread with the jar of chutney, spreading it evenly over the surface.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions over the chutney.
  10. Serve immediately with plain toast rounds or crackers.
