What she introduced me to was Kefir cheese, also known as Lebni, which is made from yogurt with the whey removed. It has the consistency of cream cheese with less fat and salt and a slightly tangy flavor. She sprinkled some oregano and smoked paprika over and then drizzled olive oil. We had it on flax flat bread which we also bought at the market.
On the left is some hummus that she also fixed and to that she added some smoked garlic. Both of these snacks were well received by her dad, then we all had a nap. Great Sunday.

I love lebni! Thanks for writing about something a little more exotic than the norm. Middle Eastern food is my favorite.
Sounds interesting. I haven't heard of this before.wdkpfm
I've tried kefir yogurt. It came in a carton and has more of a smoothie drinkable texture. It is supposed to have lots of "good" bacteria to help in digestion.
I love those kind of Sundays :)
Looks like a great snack...where's the wine??

I'm beginning to learn more about this yogurt thingy and it all depends how much whey you remove. They more they take away the thicker the end product.
That sounds right. I know if you strain ricotta cheese through cheesecloth overnight, you will be left with (the curds) and a much thicker consistancy.
