Pistachio Crusted Labneh Log with Honey Drizzle

  • Easy

  • 5 hours 15 mins

Strained yoghurt turns into something rather special here… thick labneh shaped into a log, rolled in pistachios and finished with a generous drizzle of honey. We created this one in collaboration with Jalna, using their yoghurt as the base and Capilano Pure Honey for a glossy finish. Add crackers and fruit, and you’ve got an effortless centrepiece that feels thoughtfully put together.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg Jalna yoghurt
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 80 grams pistachio kernels, chopped
  • Capilano Pure Honey to drizzle
  • Cracker and fruits to serve
  • Cheesecloth
  1. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to 1kg of Jalna yogurt and mix well. Set a strainer over a large bowl and line it with cheesecloth. Pour the salted yogurt into the cloth, tie it tightly with a string. Place the bowl in the fridge and let it strain for at least 5 hours, or up to 24 hours.
  2. Once strained, discard the liquid in the bowl and use the thick labneh left in the cheesecloth.
  3. Once the labneh has drained, it will be thick like cream cheese. Unwrap it from the cheesecloth and shape it into a log using cling wrap makes this easier.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over it, then finish with a drizzle of honey on top.
  5. Serve on a cheeseboard with crackers, nuts and fruit.
