Lebanese Yogurt Cheese with Za'Atar and Olives
- 1 quart goat's-milk yogurt
- Kosher or sea salt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Za'atar herb blend
- 24 Kalamata olives
- 1 bunch small radishes, trimmed
- Pita bread, cut into wedges, warmed
- Line a sieve with cheesecloth.
- If the cheesecloth is loosely woven (most supermarket brands are), use a triple thickness.
- Pour the yogurt into the sieve, then gather the edges of the cheesecloth and tie into a bag.
- Hang the bag over the sink or over a bowl to catch the drippings.
- Let drain for 8 hours.
- Turn the soft, creamy cheese out onto a platter.
- Season the surface with salt to taste, drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle generously with za'atar.
- Surround the cheese with the olives and radishes.
- Serve with the warm pita bread wedges.
