Had an experiment today making my first ever hm kefir cheese. You strain hm kefir through a coffee filter paper in a sieve over a bowl and leave for several hours and it produces a lovely soft cheese full of good bacteria. I’ve tried a bit and it tastes good so put the cheese to one side in fridge as planning to use it to make a mushroom pate. I’ve bought some shiitake and portobello mushrooms which I’ll cook tomorrow with some slivers of garlic in butter and then blend with the kefir soft cheese and a few herbs to make mushroom pate for a family lunch on Friday.
My other experiment today was using 2 teaspoons of liquid inulin (which looks like honey or golden syrup see photo ) in my yoghurt production - hoping works same as powdered inulin as much easier to mix! I had a quick taste of the syrup which is just chicory root like the powder but more concentrated and it tastes delicious - would be good drizzled on lc toast or similar I think.this one was called troo see photo but now I’ve discovered it I notice other companies produce inulin syrup too. I bought mine from Ocado but spotted on amazon too. It’s one gram of carb per teaspoon but you don’t need much as it tastes sweet. Noticed there’s a choc version with the chicory root syrup mixed with cocoa but also noticed that several reviews mentioned that they found the choc version too easy to eat straight from jar......
