A refreshing and healthy soft cheese consistency. As an appetizer with pita bread and olives. A great cool down condiment w/ spicy foods. Can be used in place of sour cream or cream cheese in most dips, spreads, and sauces. Read more . Try mixing a little in with scrambled eggs or spread on toast. Ingredients:
1 qt. laban (yogurt) |
1 cloth bag or cheesecloth |
1 tsp salt |
Directions:
1. Pour Laban into a cloth bag or cheesecloth. Twist the top to exert a slight amount of pressure on the laban.
2. Place bag in a bowl fitted with a mesh strainer. Let water drain from Laban overnight. (My grandmother would let it drain in the sink all night but I put mine in the frig to be safe.) It should attain a cream cheese type consistency.
3. Remove from bag into a container w/ a tight fitting lid. add salt and mix. To preserve fresh taste, lightly cover with olive oil.
4. Tip: You can vary the consistency by altering the drain time.
