How to Prepare Herb and Pepper Labneh: Middle Eastern Cheese [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Coated a strainer with a linen cloth or cheese cloth. Pour in the yogurt with some salt. Place the colander over a bowl so that it can collect the liquid. Cover with foil, place in the refrigerator, and let it drip until more liquid comes out, stirring the yogurt every now and then over the course of about 6 days.
  2. Form balls with the now compact yogurt, lightly flatten them, and place them in a jar with dried chili. If you want other flavors, cover with oil and keep in the refrigerator. Just before serving, add herbs and flavors to the cheese.
