Herbed Cheese



Ingredients for Herbed Cheese:

1 Kg Fresh yogurt 
pinch of salt
2 Spring onions, only greens
1 clove  garlic crushed
3 tablespoons chopped coriander or fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped mint

Method:
Fold a large piece of malmal cloth twice to form a 4-layer, roughly 18-inch square. 
Place in a sieve set over a large bowl, and spoon yogurt into center. 
Gathering the 4 corners, tie a piece of twine just above yogurt to form a tight bundle. 
Hang it over a tap or in the fridge.
Let the yogurt (still in sieve over bowl) drain in refrigerator at least 4 hours and up to 6 hours.
Cut open the malmal cloth. 
Transfer yogurt cheese to a bowl.
Add in a pinch of salt, green part of 2 spring onions, 1 clove crushed garlic, 
3 tablespoons finely chopped coriander or fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves and 1 tablespoon mint leaves. 
Mix well.
Take it out with an icecream scoop.
Arrange on a plate with mint.
Chill and serve with bread.
