Ingredients
Labneh
- 500 g yogurt full fat, plain, Greek
- ¼ teaspoon salt cooking
Drizzle
- 2½ tablespoon olive oil divided
- 100 g tomato miniature size
- 1 garlic halved, clove
- ½ teaspoon thyme fresh leaves
- ½ teaspoon za'atar seasoning
- lemon zest finely grated
- ¼ teaspoon salt cooking
- parsley optional garnish, finely chopped, fresh
Instructions
To make the labneh
- Place a strainer/sieve over a large bowl and line it with cheesecloth or clean Chux cloth and set aside.
- Mix the yogurt and salt then pour into the lined strainer.
- Fold over the top of the Chux to cover then place in the fridge for 24 hours.
To finish the dip
- Heat ½ tablespoon of olive oil in a small pan, and fry tomatoes and garlic over medium-low heat until the tomatoes start to burst and the garlic is golden.
- Turn off the heat and remove the garlic, then add the remaining olive oil, lemon zest, thyme leaves, za'atar and salt. Mix to combine then allow to cool.
- Spoon the labneh into a medium bowl then swirl the spoon lightly through the top to create some ridges for effect.
- Drizzle over the tomato and olive oil mixture then sprinkle with chopped parsley to garnish (if using).
Notes
- ½ cups.
- ½ cup of whey.
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- If you are purchasing the labneh already made, you will need approximately 1 ½ cups.
- I used a clean Chux kitchen cloth as I don't have any cheesecloth. You can also use a piece of clean, loosely woven cotton fabric.
- 500g of yogurt will produce about ½ cup of whey.
