Ingredients
- 900 g full-fat yogurt (regular or Greek)
- olive oil for drizzling
- za’atar for sprinkling
Preparation
Not specified
Cooking
- Mix the yogurt with ½ tsp coarse sea salt.
- Set a sieve over a large measuring jug or bowl and line it with a muslin cloth.
- Spoon in the yogurt, bring the sides of the cloth together and tie it tightly with kitchen string, leaving enough string to allow you to suspend it.
- Make a loop with the excess and hang the muslin parcel from the tap of the kitchen sink, putting the bowl or jug below it.
- Leave for 12-24 hrs until all the liquid has drained out.
- (If the weather is warm, chill in a sieve over a bowl instead.).
- When the labneh is ready, it will be firm – the longer you leave it, the firmer it will become, so drain for slightly less time if you want to eat it as a dip.
- Scrape the labneh into a bowl or container, and serve drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with za’atar.
