Labneh Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Labneh

    In a mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Strain the Yogurt

    Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and line it with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Pour the yogurt mixture into the strainer and let it drain in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, or until it reaches your desired thickness.

  3. 3

    Transfer to Serving Dish

    Once the yogurt has drained, transfer it to a serving dish and smooth the top.

  4. 4

    Add Olive Oil

    Drizzle the olive oil over the labneh, allowing it to pool in the center.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Sprinkle fresh herbs over the top for added flavor and garnish.
