DRAINED YOGURT



Drained Yogurt image

Yogurt can be drained of much of its water content, resulting in a thick, creamy product known in the Middle East as labna (or labne). Drained yogurt is like a moist, fresh, tangy cheese (and is sometimes referred to as yogurt cheese), and makes a great spread or dip. In Turkey and the Middle East there are a number of dips and salad dressings that begin with drained yogurt, to which pureed garlic and chopped fresh herbs are added. It's mixed with chopped cucumbers for salads (coming up in these recipes), even mixed with chopped dried apricots for a sweet and tangy dip.

Cod Roasted with Fresh Herbs image

Cod is one of my favorite fish, and we get such wonderful, fresh and inexpensive cod here in Rhode Island. I think the touch of lemon zest in the crust adds a nice lemony flavor mixed in with the breadcrumbs.
