Tokyoite Labneh - à la Jérachienne
YATTTTAAAAAAAA!!!!! \(^O^)/ (I DID IT!)
After more than 4 months of having breakfast without the unique delicious taste of Jerashi Labneh, I finally managed to make my own home made Labneh!
In the first tasting session, two kinds of Extra Virgin Olive Oil were used, one from Spain, and the other from Palestine, with a message of "Save The Olives". The latter was a precious gift from a Japanese friend.
The bread is one of the finest in town. It is natural healthy gourmet brown bread which is very hard to find in Tokyo.
You can see the sac that was used to drain the yoghurt into Labneh. Special thanks to my mother for providing me with it.
After the great success of the 1st batch, a 2nd one followed a few days after licking the last bit of the 1st one.
To prepare it, I had to get some help from my neighbour as he provided the hanger that was used to hang the yoghurt sac by.
The third batch is currently undergoing as I write this. The formula is very easy; you need 5 packs of yoghurt to make one pack of Labneh. You add some salt -according to taste- and just drain it for 3 days for a moderate sour taste. If you need it to be stronger, wait for another day.
For all those of you who are coming to Japan, don't forget to bring this simple yet very important piece of cloth with you.
