How To Make middle east labneh

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the yogurt and salt.

Step 2

Line a colander with 2 cheesecloths and place it over a large bowl.
Step 3

Scoop the mixture into the prepared colander and cover gently with the cheese cloth. Transfer to the fridge for 24 hours.
Step 4

Remove the labneh from the cheesecloths to a serving bowl (keep the whey for other recipes). Run the back of a spoon into the labneh to make indentations.
Step 5

Pour on the extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle the top with za’atar. Serve with crudités, warm pitas, crackers, man’oushe, etc.
