It is easy to make at home by simply adding a bit of salt and straining the excess whey with the help of a strainer and some cheesecloth or other porous fabric.
Ingredients for this Recipe :
- 8 large ripe figs, cut in half lengthwise
- 1/4 cup pistachios, chopped
- 2 cup whole-fat plain yogurt
- 3 tbsp local honey, divided
- 1/2 tsp salt
- cheesecloth
Alternative to Labneh :
If you don’t have time to prepare the labneh for this recipe, you can substitute goat cheese or even cream cheese for a less tangy alternative.
How to Make Oven Roasted Figs :
Step 1:
To make the labneh, combine yogurt and salt in a small bowl and stir until blended. Line a metal strainer with several layers of cheesecloth and position the strainer over a large, deep bowl.
Step 2:
Transfer the yogurt mixture to the lined strainer and cover. Place in the refrigerator to drain for 1-2 days. (The longer the yogurt is strained, the firmer the labneh will become).
