Lebni Ingredients

Method

Lebni Preparation

  1. 1

    Straining the Yogurt

    Place a cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Pour the plain yogurt into the cheesecloth. Allow the yogurt to drain in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight until it reaches a thick, cream-like consistency.

  2. 2

    Mixing Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the strained yogurt, minced garlic, chopped dill, and chopped walnuts. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  3. 3

    Seasoning

    Add salt to taste and mix thoroughly. Drizzle olive oil over the mixture and gently fold it in.

  4. 4

    Serving

    Transfer the Lebni to a serving dish. You can garnish it with additional dill or walnuts if desired. Serve with pita bread or fresh vegetables.
