A simple yet elegant meze in which yogurt is strained for long hours into a thick labneh, served with olive oil and fresh herbs. With its creamy texture that can be spread on bread, it finds a place with equal ease at breakfast and tavern tables.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Salt the yogurt

5 min

Mix the yogurt with salt and pour it onto a clean cheesecloth.

2

Strain

240 min

Tie the end of the cheesecloth and let it strain over a strainer in the refrigerator for at least 6-8 hours.

3

Shape

10 min

Shape the thickened labneh into small balls with your hands, or spread it into a bowl to form a flat surface.

4

Serve with olive oil

5 min

Mix in crushed garlic if desired, then drizzle with olive oil, thyme, and red pepper flakes before serving.

Reminder

Important: When straining the yogurt, keep the cheesecloth in a cool spot out of direct sunlight, otherwise it will sour faster. Allergen: contains dairy. Note: if strained for too short a time, the labneh will stay runny — it needs to strain for at least 6-8 hours.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you shape the labneh into small balls by hand and let them sit in olive oil for a few days, both the shelf life and the depth of flavor increase.
