Introduction

I was FORCED to create this recipe after a menu promised smoked labne as part of a dish and I was so excited to try it, only to be very underwhelmed by what tasted very much like…just labne.

I couldn’t stop thinking about it though (welcome to the inside of my head) and knew that I needed to make my own.

So, once I got home, I grabbed a tub of Greek yoghurt and my handy infusion smoker and got to work.

The end result is creamy, tangy and richly smoky and is the perfect addition to any dish that needs a touch of wow.

This recipe doesn’t even need amounts as the amount of labne that you get will be dictated by the size tub of yoghurt that you use.

You do you.

I don’t think there is an easy hack for smoking without a smoking gun, but they can be can be picked up from homewares stores and hardware stores for under $40 and can be used for so many things.

The recipe

Directions

Step 1

Place the strainer over your large bowl and line with the clean muslin cloth.

Step 2

Spoon the yoghurt into the cloth and sit in a cool place to drain overnight.

Step 3

You will find the strainer full of thick, creamy labne and the mixing bowl full of whey.

Step 4

(The whey can be frozen in cubes to add to protein shakes)

Step 5

At this point, you can add any flavours to the labne that you like, but I wanted to smoke mine.

Step 6

To smoke the labne, tip it into a bowl and cover the bowl with cling wrap, leaving a small opening.

Step 7

Insert the tube from the infusion smoker into the bowl and then prepare and light the wood chips.

Step 8

Pump the smoke into the bowl until it is full and then remove the tube and quickly seal the cling wrap.

Step 9

Leave for 4-8 minutes, depending on how smoky you want it to taste.

Step 10

Remove the cling wrap and stir the labne well.

Step 11

Roll labne into balls and store in olive oil.

Step 12

Serve them rolled in spices, spread over toast with avocado or as a dip - the possibilities really are endless.
