Yogurt Instead Of Crème Fraîche?

[Tilly2]

Can I use natural low fat yogurt in my pork casserole, in the same way that I would use crème fraîche?

I usually use it to thicken it up a bit and give it a nice finish. Will yogurt work?

[shoota]

You can......


Whether you should or not is another question.

[Tilly2]

Should I? Would you?

[shoota]

Yes.

[shoota]

But not the strawberry or mango....

[Tilly2]

That's alright then. Thank you. It won't curdle, will it?

[shoota]

'The best crème fraîche comes from a strictly controlled area of Normandy called Isigny-sur-Mer and it’s sold in larger supermarkets here. A half-fat version of crème fraîche is available from some supermarkets. Plain full-fat yoghurt can be used as a substitute for crème fraîche in cooking as long as you heat it gently – adding a little cornflour can help prevent it from separating.'

[shoota]

Personally I'd use full fat cream.
But then I'm passed caring.....

[Tilly2]

I have low fat, natural yogurt. I won't bother then as it's going to be a mess. I don't want to add cornflour. I don't like it. Thanks for trying to help, shoota.

[Tilly2]

past, not passed. (Sorry! auto-correct. I can't help it.)

[boxtops]

Yes, I would.

I'm the same Tilly can't stand cornflour in anything...Use cream if you have any

[shoota]

I'm sure in your expert hands it would be fine Till.

[Tilly2]

I don't have cream. I only have yogurt and I'm not going to the shops now. We will have it unadorned.

[shoota]

Not sure I agree with you Miss...
Caring is a point in my life that I have passed.
It is in my past.

[Tilly2]

If you are past doing something, you are no longer able to do it. For example, if you are past caring, you do not care about something in particular.

[shoota]

I am past caring - I have passed the point at which I cared.

My dinner was lovely!

Methyl, I am nothing like Nigella. More like Delia.
