Labneh

July 6, 2021 by Kayla Robertson

Jump to Recipe

If you have ever wanted to make cheese then this is the recipe for you! It is simple and easy all you really need is time! The end result is labneh, which is the texture of cream cheese with more of a tang. I love it!

It is also a great carrier of flavours, try adding garlic and herbs or someone even suggested sweet chilli sauce!

Labneh

Ingredients

  • 1kg thin Greek yoghurt
  • 3/4 tsp Salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the salt & yoghurt together.

  2. Line another bowl with your muslin/cheesecloth.

  3. Pour the yoghurt mix into the middle of the muslin.

  4. Now you need to hang it somewhere for the 24-36 hours for all the liquid to drain out.

  5. I started by tying a wooden spook over a large pot, but ended up with the muslin in a sieve over a pot. A lot of people seem to hang it over a tap but our taps are high traffic areas.

  6. After a minimum of 24hrs. open your muslin parcel and you should find some gorgeous thick and creamy labneh.

  7. To serve, drizzle with olive oil and a big grind of pepper

  8. Serve with vegetables and warm pita bread, plenty of parsley or basil. Enjoy!

Hi, I’m Jana!

Hi, I’m Jana. I live in gorgeous Arrowtown with my 2 children, Hunter (6) and River (4), Husband Hamish, and a dog & a cat for good measure.

I love cooking and sharing recipes here with you. I am a home cook and enjoy making all sorts of dishes, as long as they are simple & delicious!

Here on the blog you will find recipes such as One Pan Coconut Chicken, Whole Orange Cake with White Chocolate Icing & Eggs Shakshuka.

When I am not in the kitchen or playing with my children by the local river, I can be found trekking the gorgeous walks on our doorstep, or sampling some of the incredible local wines.
