Lemon & garlic labneh with pita chips
Ingredients
1kg Bulla European or Greek Style Yoghurt
1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
150ml (2/3 cup) extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, bruised
Zest of a lemon
PITA BREAD CRISPS
3 pieces large pita, split in half
80ml (1/3 cup) extra virgin olive oil
20g (1/4 cup) dukkah (store bought or home made)
Cooking Directions
- Combine yoghurt and salt. Spoon yoghurt mixture into a strainer, linedwith a double layer of muslin (or a new clean cloth) suspended over a bowl to collect excess moisture. Cover and place in the fridge overnight or until the mixture is firm (this takes several hours).
- Roll yoghurt mixture into walnut-sized balls with wet hands, place in a bowl, cover with olive oil, add garlic and lemon rind, cover and refrigerate until required.
- Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced). Cut pita bread into small triangles, place in a single layer on baking trays lined with baking paper. Brush with olive oil, scatter with dukkah, turn and repeat. Bake until golden and crisp (6-8 minutes), cool to room temperature. Serve with labne.
- Makes about 45 pieces. Pita crisps will keep stored in an airtight container for one week.
