TASTY OPTION

In the recipe above, instead of yogurt you can also use β€œxinogalo” (sour/fermented milk) from Siteia-Crete, which resembles to yogurt in texture and has a more acidic flavor. In that case, you might want to skip the lemon zest and add some more honey to the recipe, according to your taste.
