Speaking of plums... - labradors - 07-26-2009 ...here is a recipe from the latest Epicurious email: Roasted Plums with Greek Yogurt Ingredients Parchment paper 6 dark plums, halved and pitted 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted 1 tablespoon sugar 1/2 cup 2 percent Greek yogurt 2 tablespoons hazelnuts, toasted in the oven at 375°F for 7 minutes, chopped 2 teaspoons honey Instructions: Heat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place plums cut side up on sheet, brush with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until soft and some juices run off, about 15 minutes. Divide among 4 bowls, Top each with 2 tablespoons yogurt, sprinkle with nuts and drizzle with honey. Sounds great, but I can't get Greek yogurt here, and I know it's a big difference from regular yogurt. Re: Speaking of plums... - Lorraine - 07-26-2009 Greek yogurt is a lot thicker. You can buy regular yogurt and strain it through cheesecloth of coffee filters to get rid of the liquid. Thanks for the recipe, we love plums. Re: Speaking of plums... - chef_Tab - 07-27-2009 I honestly don't think in this case, it would make a huge difference if you used plain yogurt. I know they are different, and I eat a lot of yogurt. I really don't taste a big difference and for the dollup you are putting on the plums, I wouldn't even bother straining. My favorite breakfast is Greek yogurt, honey, and fresh peach slices. My guess is this would be great if you grilled the fruit too. Thanks for sharing this, Rob. I will have to do it soon.
