Watery Dip - 2005/05/30 19:04
I used an entire bag of the organic spinach, and about half a container of whole-milk, plain, organic yogurt, and came up with a quart of watery dip. Today i was looking around the store for something of a non-salt nature to thicken the dip but, and one of the ideas was soft cheese - i decided against it for many reasons (mainly, i just couldnot see it working, and it has salt and calories galore in it). What i want is something completely used for thickening (a thickening agent).
Probably next time i will make cheese out of the yogurt before making the spinach dip, but it takes days; you wind up with soooooo much waste that way, and only a little bit of stuff left with which to work.
Maybe if i throw in a container of extra-firm soy, it will work, but i doubt it, plus it will really thin out the spinach too much. Of course i could get a bushel of spinach; dry it in my veggie dryer and then make the dip . . . actually, in that case and cost, i would have to start raising my own spinach - - that too is too time consuming. (:
I am looking for something easy that i can slap together in a normal amount of time, and a natural thickener will do it. I need something that is sort of used strictly for thickening; such as corn starch is used for thickening gravy.
I was thinking about gelatin, but that would call for too many processes, take too much time etc.
