Strained yoghurt
Strained yoghurt is a traditional yoghurt produced by removing the liquid part through the tsantila (sieve), leaving a rich, dense texture. With 5% fat content, it offers a creamy taste and high nutritional value. It is an ideal choice for those looking for a richer and tastier yoghurt experience.

Recipe: Eggplants with minced meat and yoghurt
Ingredients
• 4 medium eggplants
• 500 g minced beef
• 4 strained yoghurts
• 3 ripe tomatoes
• 1 dry onion
• 4 tsp. Erotokritos Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• salt, pepper
Preparation
Wash the tomatoes and use your knife to make a cross on the bottom of the tomatoes.
At the same time, in a deep pot, bring water to a boil over high heat. Once it comes to a simmer, add the tomatoes and let them boil for about 15 minutes. When the tomatoes start to peel, immediately put them in cold water and let them sit for about 5 minutes.
Immediately afterwards, place them on paper towels and remove the skins, cut them, remove the seeds and chop them finely.
Cut the eggplants into slices, lay them on a baking tray with parchment paper and grill them at 200 C for 10 minutes on each side.
In a pan, add the olive oil and sauté the onion. Once golden, add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
When the sauce is left with a little liquid, add the minced meat and let it boil for 10 minutes.
Grease a non-stick baking pan with olive oil and spread the eggplants, which have been lightly salted. Lay the minced meat on top and spread the 2 yoghurts on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes at 200 C.
Let it cool for 10 minutes and spread the rest of the yoghurt.
