A silky, tangy labneh dip that celebrates the simplicity of premium dairy. Drizzled with the finest olive oil and finished with fragrant za'atar, this recipe transforms a humble ingredient into something truly special.
Ingredients
- 500g FIRNO thick yogurt
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp za'atar spice blend
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Warm pita bread for serving
- Cherry tomatoes, halved
- Cucumber slices
Instructions
1
Line a fine-mesh sieve with cheesecloth and place it over a deep bowl. Spoon the yogurt into the cheesecloth.
2
Gather the edges of the cheesecloth and tie them together. Refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours, allowing the whey to drain completely.
3
Once the labneh has reached your desired thickness, transfer it to a serving bowl. The longer you strain, the thicker it becomes.
4
Create a shallow well in the center of the labneh using the back of a spoon.
5
Drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil, letting it pool in the well.
6
Sprinkle za'atar evenly over the top. Add a few fresh mint leaves for color and aroma.
7
Serve immediately with warm pita bread, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber slices on the side.
