How can I use up yogurt?

I recently bought a quart of local, Amish-made whole-milk yogurt. This seemed like a good idea at the time, but the yogurt is a bit gamey, in that you can pretty much taste what the cows were eating, and what they were eating was in the onion family. While I'm all for naturally pastured cows, I'm not going to eat this yogurt for breakfast. I've used up a cup of it to make biscuits and am looking for something else to make with it that will disguise the taste.

9. When the cows are dining on ramp and/or mustard, the milk gets very, very weird

What you might do with the yogurt is use it up in savory recipes like yogurt chicken. Doctoring it up with plenty of garlic and spice and serving it with meat can cover up the off flavor from what the cow was eating.

I sympathize, I grew to loathe milk when I was a kid since I turned lactose intolerant at about 5 years old. When it was ramp season in the south, it became even worse and no amount of chocolate powder could disguise the funk. On good days, my mother would leave the kitchen long enough to get it down the sink. On bad days, I had horrible diarrhea in school.

It great as a dip for hot and cold appetizers and works great as a sauce for any grilled vegetables, fish, and meat. I really love it on grilled eggplant then sprinkle on some smoked paprika.

Pumpkin soup is ridiculously easy to make from scratch, and "gamey" yogurt should fit right in.

cream and a little butter. Everyone loves them. Of course I always add a purple top turnip to the potatoes because of the lovely flavor, but I don't tell anyone because they wouldn't eat them. They just think I have a great way of making mashed potatoes.
