Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lb yogurt, low-fat, plain
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tsp oregano, dried
1 tsp thyme, leaves
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
1 c olive oil

Steps:

  • 1. Mix the yogurt, salt, and pepper and let drain, refrigerated, for 3 days in a cheesecloth-lined colander or a cheesecloth or muslin bag set over a bowl. There must be space underneath the sack to allow the whey to drain.
  • 2. Divide the cheese into 2-ounce portions and place on parchment-lined trays. Allow to drain and dry uncovered overnight, refrigerated.
  • 3. Combine the remaining ingredients to make marinade. Add the cheese, and marinate 12 to 24 hours before serving.
