Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Cheesecloth Note 1

Ingredients

Labneh Dip

  • 1 kg Greek Yoghurt
  • sesame seeds to garnish
  • parsley to garnish

Instructions

Labneh Dip with Homemade Pita Chips

  • Line a mixing bowl with layers of cheesecloth Note 1
  • Transfer Greek Yoghurt into centre of cheese cloth
  • Use kitchen string to tie cheesecloth together and suspend over a bowl (without it touching the base) for 10 hours or overnight.
  • Remove from fridge, use scissors to cut the string, pull back cheesecloth and gentle remove labneh.
  • Place in bowl, serve with toasted pita chips and top with toasted sesame seeds and parsley to garnish.

Notes

  • Note 1 Cheesecloth is a popular cheese making material. You can purchase it at cooking stores and for the Aussies reading this, I get mine from Spotlight. I have also used Chux (clean) when making paneer, this will work too. 
  • Note 2 I lay my 2 layers of cheesecloth in opposite directions, so the weave overlaps.
