HOMEMADE LABNEH
I fell in love with labneh after going to a few different Middle Eastern restaurants, and seeing that store-bought labneh was pretty expensive I wanted to see about making it myself. It's incredibly easy! It is a tad time-consuming due to the straining time, but worth it. I make this with nonfat yogurt due to both the texture and the addition of olive oil and sesame seeds, but feel free to use low fat or whole milk plain yogurt in this.

Steps:
- Take a large swath of cheesecloth that you can fold over a few times and lay it out into a colander. Affix the colander to a bowl that leaves enough room to catch all of the whey that drips off.
- Measure out the sea salt, and put the yogurt into the cheesecloth, gradually mixing the salt in as it's spooned inches.
- Tightly bind up the cheesecloth to expedite the straining. Let strain in the fridge overnight.
- When done straining, remove the labneh from the cheesecloth and remove any loose strings, discarding the whey and cheesecloth.
- Divide the labane up into four bowls or serving dishes that hold about 6 ounces. Make wells in the centers of each one.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil into each well, then add 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds to each as well.
- Sprinkle each bowl liberally with za'atar, about 1 teaspoon each.
- Serve toasted pitas and falafel, it's heavenly.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, salt, and lemon juice. Line a colander with three layers of cheesecloth and place the colander over a large bowl. Pour the yogurt into the cheesecloth, cover the whole thing with plastic wrap, and set the bowl in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight, emptying the liquid in the bowl as needed. If you're not using it in a recipe, you can serve it on its own. Top with a big splash of olive oil and additional seasoning and serve with pita. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Steps:
- The day before, line a bowl with muslin. (If you don't have any muslin, line a sieve with a new J-cloth and set it over a bowl.) Stir ½ tsp salt into the yogurt. Tip into the muslin, then bring the edges together to form a tight bundle, tie with string and hang over the bowl (or simply tip into the J-cloth lined sieve). Put in the fridge for 24-36 hrs to drain. You should be left with a firmer, soft cheese-like substance. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Trim the top and bottom of the squash. Slice into 1in-thick rounds, halving any huge ones- you'll need at least 6 slices. Where there are seeds, scrape out with a teaspoon. Brush with 2 tbsp of the oil, season and roast for 30-40 mins on baking sheets, turning halfway, until tender. Leave at room temperature until ready to serve.
- Spread a round base of labneh on 6 plates and divide the squash slices between them. Mix the remaining oil with the pomegranate molasses, honey, vinegar and seasoning, then toss with the salad leaves and onion. Divide between the plates, then scatter with pomegranate seeds or redcurrants.

Steps:
- For the labneh: stir the salt into the yogurt, then transfer the mixture to a cheesecloth-lined strainer set over a bowl. Gather the ends of the cheesecloth to shape the yogurt into a ball and give it a gentle squeeze. Tie the ends of the cheesecloth into a knot. Tie a few inches of twine to the cheesecloth and suspend it from a small rod or chopstick set over a tall container (make sure the cheesecloth pouch is a few inches above the bottom of the container).
- Place the entire container in the refrigerator to drain. For firm labneh cheese that can be shaped into balls, let sit overnight. (For creamy, softer labneh let it sit only 6 to 8 hours.)
- For the seed and herb coating: after the labneh has drained overnight, mix the sesame seeds, sumac, dried thyme, dried mint, nigella seeds and red pepper flakes together in a shallow dish.
- Oil your hands and shape the cheese into 2 tablespoon-sized balls. Roll each ball in the spice mixture to coat completely and place in a 32-ounce airtight container. Cover the cheese with 2 cups olive oil and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- Serve with bread, green olives, pickled cucumber, mint leaves, zaatar and red tea.
