Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 cups sheep’s yogurt (or cow’s yogurt) can use 2 cups of labneh instead
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 10 springs thyme plus extra leaves for serving
  • 6 strips zest of orange
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds
  • ¼ cup caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon zest of lime
  • 1 tablespoon juice of lime

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, mix the yogurt with salt. Line a colander with muslin or cheesecloth and place it over a bowl. Pour the yogurt into the cloth, fold it over the top, and set a weight on it. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours until thick and spreadable.
  • In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat for about 7 minutes until small bubbles form. Remove from heat, add thyme sprigs and orange zest, then cover and let it sit for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • In a food processor, blend ½ cup blackberries, ⅓ cup raspberries, ⅓ cup blueberries, sugar, and lime juice until smooth. In a large bowl, combine the remaining berries and pomegranate seeds with the blended mixture. Toss gently.
  • Spread the thickened labneh onto a serving platter. Spoon the berry mixture on top.
  • Sprinkle with lime zest. Drizzle with infused olive oil. Garnish with extra thyme leaves and orange zest strips. Serve immediately.
