Показать описание
Labneh, commonly known as yogurt cheese, is a dairy product that doesn’t involve rennet or the aging process typical of cheese. It is a strained yogurt consumed widely in Mediterranean countries and many European regions. In the Middle East, labneh is a staple for breakfasts, mezze, and appetizers, often used as a complement in pita bread, sandwiches, and various dough-based dishes.

Preparation:

To make labneh, you’ll need a few basic utensils: a medium or large bowl, a fine-mesh strainer, and cheesecloth that doesn’t shed threads.

Ingredients:
- 750g Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Black pepper
- Rosemary and extra virgin olive oil for serving

Steps:

1. Combine the Ingredients: Mix the yogurt and salt in a bowl.
2. Strain: Place a strainer over another bowl and line it with cheesecloth. Pour the yogurt mixture into the strainer, fold the cheesecloth over the top, and let it drain in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, or longer for a thicker consistency.
3. Serve: Once drained, transfer the labneh to a serving dish. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper and rosemary.

Notes:

Labneh can traditionally be made from sheep or cow’s milk, and goat’s milk can also be used. For a more neutral flavor, cow’s yogurt is preferred. A good labneh starts with 100% natural yogurt made from pasteurized whole milk and lactic ferments.
