Yogurt Cheese
 
 
Yogurt cheese is easily made by simply draining plain yogurt. The resulting cheese can be used as a low calorie subsitute for sour cream in dips, salad dressings or sauces. The slightly tart flavor adds a new zing to many recipes.
 
3 sheets    cheesecloth  
2 cups    plain Redwood Hill Farm Goat Milk Yogurt  
 
1 ___To make yogurt cheese, place two cups of plain Redwood Hill Farm Goat Milk Yogurt into a colander lined with three layers of moistened cheesecloth. Bring the corners of the cheesecloth together to form a bag, which can then be drained over the sink. Let the yogurt drain for 8-16 hours. Stir occasionally, scraping the cheese away from the cheesecloth to allow better draining. The longer the yogurt drains, the thicker and more tart the yogurt cheese will be.
2 ___In many countries drained goat milk yogurt, called Lebneh, is served topped with olive oil and a mixture of spices called Zatar (available at many gourmet and Middle Eastern stores). Serve with warm pita.
