Ingredients

Servings:6
  • 2 cups Greek yogurt (full fat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Smoked paprika (Pimentón)
  • 2 tablespoons Wildflower honey
  • 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves(optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes(optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted pine nuts(optional)
  • 4 pieces Warm pita bread

Instructions

  1. 1

    Line a fine-mesh sieve with two layers of cheesecloth and place it over a deep bowl.

  2. 2

    Mix the Greek yogurt and kosher salt together in a small bowl until well combined.

  3. 3

    Transfer the yogurt mixture to the cheesecloth, gather the edges, and tie them with a string or rubber band.

  4. 4

    Refrigerate the yogurt for at least 12 to 24 hours to allow the whey to drain, resulting in a thick labneh consistency.

  5. 5

    Remove the labneh from the cheesecloth and spread it onto a shallow serving plate using the back of a spoon to create swirls.

  6. 6

    In a small ramekin, whisk together the honey and smoked paprika until smooth.

  7. 7

    Drizzle the honey-paprika mixture and olive oil over the labneh.

  8. 8

    Garnish with lemon zest, fresh thyme, and toasted pine nuts before serving with warm pita.
