Prep Time
24 hr
Ingredients
- 500gm tub natural greek yoghurt
- 1 tbsp sea salt
- 2 slices of lemon
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 chilli (optional)
- mixed herbs
- olive oil (enough to cover cheese)
Instructions
- Stir salt into yoghurt.
- Place yoghurt in cheese cloth, gather ends and tie up. (I use a large jar and a skewer through the cheese cloth to suspend or place in vegetable strainer over pot to collect the whey)
- Leave to drain for 24 hours.
- Fill a glass jar half way with olive oil and add half herbs.
- Roll into balls and drop into olive oil
- Add herbs of choice and top up olive oil making sure cheese is completely covered.
- Seal jar and store in fridge.
Notes
- My favourite are herbs/spices are chilli, garlic, rosemary and lemon or currants, walnuts and cinnamon.
