Preparation

1. In a large nonstick skillet over low heat, soften the garlic, onion and 1 tablespoon of the ginger with the minced garlic and onion in the olive oil, about 5 minutes. Set aside. Place the broccoli, remaining ginger and low-fat milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cover and simmer until the broccoli is tender but not soft, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the ginger, garlic and onion mixture to the broccoli mixture and puree in a food processor or blender. Add 1/2 cup of the yogurt cheese. Puree until smooth. Fold in the remaining yogurt cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill and serve with crudites or crackers.
