Time 10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

32 oz.(4 cups) Greek yogurt (I used Fage 2%)
1 tsp. fine sea salt
Toppings
3 TBSPS. extra virgin olive oil
2 TBSPS. pine nuts, toasted
--- za'atar spice, or, a mixture of thyme and oregano, or, dried mint
--- toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

In a large bowl, mix the yogurt and the salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning (the flavors will intensify once the whey is separated form the yogurt).
Line a colander with several layers of cheesecloth and place it over a deep bowl. Transfer the yogurt to the colander, fold the cheese cloth over it, and cover with an inverted plate. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for a minimum of 8 hours, or better, overnight. The longer you leave it the thicker it will become.
To serve, spoon some of the labneh into a serving bowl, top with toasted pine nuts, za'atar (or your favorite dried herb mixture) and drizzle liberally with extra virgin olive oil. Serve with toasted pita bread and/or sliced veggies.

Time 5m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

Ingredients

6 cups Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

In a large bowl stir the salt into the yoghurt.
Spoon the yoghurt in the center of a piece of doubled cheesecloth or soft cotton fabric (preferably undyed and immaculately clean).
Pull corners up and tie tightly.
Suspend from a stationary object over a bowl (to catch liquid).
Let this hang overnight or about 12 hours.
When well drained it will be the consistency of cottage cheese.
Remove from the cloth.
Store covered in the refrigerator until needed.
You can mix in fresh or dried herbs, minced garlic, pepper flakes, anything you would use to make an herbed cheese.
Or you could drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with fresh lemon juice and some cumin and dip pita crisps into it-- The sky's the limit really- so many uses!
To make Yoghurt Cheese Balls (Labneh Makbus) (a great little appetizer!), drain the yoghurt for 10-12 hours longer.
Take about one tablespoon at a time and roll it into smooth, round balls and place on a tray.
Chill until firm.
This will take several hours.
After they are firm and slightly dried out, place in a sterile, air tight jar, cover with olive oil.
Seal the jar and store at room temperature.
The labneh will keep this way for several months but you will have eaten them all up long before that!
Enjoy Labneh Makbus cut into halves, drizzled with olive oil and eaten with olives and fresh pita bread.

Set a mesh strainer over a large bowl. The bowl should be deep enough so that there are at least a few inches of space between the bottom of the bowl and the strainer.
Line the strainer with a fine mesh nylon straining bag (or 2 layers of cheesecloth.) I like nylon bags instead of cheesecloth because they last forever and are so much easier to clean. They can be rinsed and laundered over and over again.
Pull the fabric up around the yogurt and twist it tightly so liquid starts dripping into the bowl (you can use a clip if you like to hold it tight.) Place a small plate on top, and then weight it down with a brick or heavy can. Set this in the fridge for 24 hours. Check it once or twice to make sure that it's draining. If not, increase the pressure, and make sure the yogurt is sitting above the liquid. The longer you let it drain, the thicker the cheese will become. It can go up to 48 hours, but usually 24 hours is sufficient.
