We serve our labneh with tomato salsa, dried za’atar mix, sumac, rainbow radishes and lots of olive oil

  • Mix the yoghurts gently and transfer to a muslin cloth. Tie the ends and hang it over a bowl overnight in the fridge. 
  • The next day, gently squeeze out any excess liquid, discarding the liquid in the bowl. The yogurt will be very thick and resemble soft goat’s cheese. 
  • You can use it to spread in sandwiches or like any soft, white cheese. 
  • To make the salsa, grate the tomatoes roughly on a box grater. Leave to drain in a sieve over a bowl for 30 minutes. 
  • Mix a tablespoon of vinegar with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and the chili flakes - if using. Season to taste, adding more oil or vinegar to suit your personal taste. 
  • Serve the labneh topped with tomato salsa, a sprinkle of za’atar, a pinch of sumac and radishes and lots of the best quality extra virgin olive oil you can afford.
