Who Likes Labaneh

Who likes Labaneh!! Labaneh is a Middle Eastern delight made of strained yogurt

To make Labaneh we need:
Plain yogurt 2 lbs (Low Fat, optional)
Salt as desired at the end
Bowl
Paper towel
Sieve (strainer)

Labaneh, use it as a dip or eat it with bread.

Place the sieve over a bowl then line it with paper towel (the kind that will not break).
Pour the yogurt into the sieve, cover the top with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for the next day to strain the water. The less you leave it in the fridge, the softer it is.
Remove the Labaneh from the sieve and put it into a bowl and add salt as desired. You can store it in a jar with olive oil on top and keep it in the fridge for a few days.

Labaneh can be served on its own or mixed with mint or chopped olives or thyme (za'atar) or chilli paste or hot sauce or crushed walnut or any combination of these. Always add Olive oil when serving it as a dip or as mezzeh with Arabic bread (Pita).

Enjoy!!
