Ingredients

  • 840g Greek style yoghurt
  • 3 tsps salt
  • 60ml olive oil

Step 1

Combine yoghurt and salt in medium bowl, pour into muslin-lined large sieve or colander set over a large bowl.

Gather corners of muslin together, twist, then tie with kitchen string. Place heavy can on muslin to weight yoghurt mixture, refrigerate 24 to 36 hours until yoghurt thickens (yoghurt will lose about half its weight in water, discard water in bowl).
