Labneh Ingredients

Method

Labneh Preparation

  1. 1

    Strain the Yogurt

    In a large bowl, mix the plain yogurt with the salt. Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over another bowl. Pour the yogurt mixture into the strainer and let it drain for at least 8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator until thickened.

  2. 2

    Transfer and Serve

    Once the yogurt has drained and reached a thick consistency, transfer it to a serving dish. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle za’atar on top.
