Garlic Labneh Ingredients (can be store bought for convenience)

• 1000g Greek yoghurt or 500g store bought labneh
• 3-5 cloves confit garlic (from 2-3 garlic heads)
• Salt to taste

Garlic Labneh Method

• To prepare the labneh, place a sieve over a deep bowl and line with a piece of muslin or cheesecloth approximately 50cm square. You’ll need the bowl to be deep enough to allow the whey to drain out of the yoghurt.  Place Greek yoghurt into the cloth, tie corners loosely together and wrap up to cover.  Place into the refrigerator for 12 hours or overnight, reserve whey for another recipe, use labneh as desired.
• To prepare the confit garlic, slice roots of garlic heads, keeping as much flesh in tact as possible.
• In a small to medium saucepan or a baking dish, submerge all ingredients in the olive oil. On the stovetop you want to maintain the gentlest of simmers, no bubbles. Alternatively, in the oven the temperature can be between 70-90°  Cooking will require at least one hour, but can be cooked for up to three hours if on very low. 
• Allow confit ingredients to cool, and then place all in an airtight jar and use as you wish from the fridge for up to two months.
