When I make tzatziki I also first strain water out of the Greek yoghurt for an extended time (although I do keep it in the fridge, and not as long, maybe half a day at most); the cucumber also needs to have some moisture removed, so I ditch the seed part, coarsely grate the cucumber, salt it, let it sit for a bit for the salt to draw out the moisture, then strain it and spread it on a clean tea towel with another clean tea towel on top, and in the fridge, to absorb some more moisture. And then of course you mix them together along with your minced garlic, mint, and dill, and some extra virgin olive oil, and add any additional salt to taste. I like this more dry style of tzatziki much better than some of the more wet styles that are out there which just use Greek yoghurt on its own and sometimes don't even dry the cucumber and even use the seed parts of the cucumber. I don't disinfect, just use regularly clean stuff, but as I don't leave it as long and then use the finished product usually the same day and finish any leftovers on 1 or 2 consecutive days, it's probably not as much of an issue.

I stick a wet paper towel strip one end into the yogurt and the other into a glass of water placed lower than the yogurt in the fridge. It pulls the whey much faster than straining. Also, I make Greek style yogurt and labneh with vegan milk, it definitely works. Soy works best in my opinion, higher protein, and if you specifically want labneh or any white cheese substitute, you can blend the soy milk with soft tofu to speed up the process.

you can add olives and lemon to a sandwitch, but olives are usually fermented foods, so I am not sure if they would work, they might ruin the labneh.
@@hollydaugherty2620 they are basically pickled, and pickling is a form of fermentation. I tried fresh olives from tree, so bitter and I didn't like it. tried olives that were few days into pickling, tastes less bitter, but till held their shape and taste, that's more like brining. and regular olives are pickled, salty, softer tecture, grow in size, and lose their bitter taste. so I lean towards considering it a fermented food :)

Mix well, add 1-1.5 teaspoons of salt, and mix well again. Put into the bag to strain out the liquid. I leave out on the counter during the day and then put into the fridge overnight. If you like the labaneh on the softer side, you can let it drain for a day or so. If you like your labaneh on the dryer side, you can drain for 1.5 days or so. Please keep in mind that labaneh from coconut will be stiffer so better not to overdry. Once all is done, you mix well, adjust the salt to your liking and cover with olive oil. Enjoy!

Oh, I gotta try this! Thanks for the recipe. Although, I have to say, you probably lost your time at some point here. If the labna balls needs additional drying and the you're re-shapping them... just don't shape them into balls the first time You're mostly absorbing the liquid with the towels by contact, since you cover them (and therefore, humid air is trapped). So they don't need to be already shipped like balls (and your lose time shaping them with spoons). Shape it like a thick tile, or maybe patties, and then cover them. This way they'll have more contact with the towel, less with air, and dry faster. Later when you decide to make balls, you can take the quantity you need and shape with your hands to they'll be balls at that stage. Also, the ball shape is probably the traditional way (or so I guess) but in nature the ball has the smallest surface for highest volume ratio. If you want more surface (more oil and spice coating) shaping them differently (again) would work. I'm thinking tubes, or even cubes or bricks... And yes I'm aware balls are easier to get out of the container, and easier to put in as well. I'm saying this as an idea that came to my mind, but to be honest I'm going to shape them like balls (and tubes) to limit the calories from the oil.

Interesting to know about the commonalities in completely different geographical places! In Maharashtra, India, the basic Labneh is called as "chakka", made by the exact same procedure. It's usually used here to make "shreekhand" by adding sugar, cardamom, saffron and dryfruits in it and grinding it until it becomes homogenous and creamy, eaten with "puri" (deep-fried whole-wheat flat bread). Adding mango puree makes it into "amrakhanda", a summer delicacy! We don't happen to use it much in spicy food or don't really preserve it the way you showed though. There are medicine-tablet-like candies made for casual eating by completely drying in into a fine powder and compressing it. Super fun for kids, immediately melts in the mouth!

Not necessary to stir or salt de yogurt. If you don't break the soft yogurt structure you can drain directly in a common kitchen drainer. All you hace to do is put gently in the drainer spoon by spoon. You will see how the yogur dranis perfectly and the whey is so transparent. That's the technique we use in the dairy. On fact there are some cheeses that are made whit this technique, we call this kind of cheese acid coagulated cheese. We ferment the milk to make an over fermented yogurt, after we put it carefully in some tissue or drainer, etc.
