Preparation time: 10 minutes + Overnight | Serves: 2–4 people

Labneh is one of the easiest dips you will ever make. This traditional Middle Eastern delicacy requires just two ingredients — good quality Greek yoghurt and salt.

Versatile and delicious, labneh can be used as a dip, spread, or shaped into balls and eaten as cheese. While a bit of forward planning is required, with a few simple steps, you’ll have a creamy, delicious and healthy dip that looks incredibly impressive.

  1. Begin the labneh process the night before.
  2. Lay muslin cloth across a fine mesh sieve, ensuring cloth overlaps edges.
  3. Mix Greek yoghurt and salt together in a bowl.
  4. Transfer yoghurt into muslin-lined sieve. Gather cloth and secure with clip or elastic.
  5. Place small plate on top of wrapped yoghurt and add weight (like a can of beans).
  6. Refrigerate overnight (10–12 hours) with a bowl underneath to collect whey.
  7. Scoop labneh into container and stir until smooth. Add splash of whey if needed for texture.
  8. To serve, swirl with olive oil and top with sumac and dukkah.
