Did you know that
To make the pink sauce, you can replace the Greek yogurt with lightly whipped fresh cream. Alternatively, you can use natural yogurt: in the latter case, it is advisable to drain the yogurt through a clean cloth before adding it to the other ingredients to avoid making the sauce too liquid.- At this point, add the Worcester sauce and cognac (or brandy). Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
- Cover the bowl with a sheet of cling film and leave to set in the fridge for at least an hour.
- The pink sauce is ready to be served.
