Labneh

Labneh is a yogurt dip made with mint, garlic and olive oil. You can use Greek Yogurt for this recipe or just drain the water out of the plain yogurt so that it turns thick and creamy.

Ingredients

1 cup plain yogurt, drained
1/4 cup fresh mint, finely chopped
1 tbs dry mint
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbs olive oil

For making the yogurt thick all you have to do is place the desired amount of plain yogurt in a fine mesh sieve and let the water drain in a bowl (placed underneath the sieve) for a few hours. After a few hours you will get yogurt with thick and creamy consistency.

Heat the garlic in olive oil for a minute and let is cool till it reaches the room temperature. This is to take the edge off of the garlic. You can skip this step if you don’t mind the flavor of raw garlic. Add all the ingredients in a bowl and stir to mix well. Chill in the fridge for an hour before serving.
