Chammi

Emirian homemade cottage cheese

• 2 C plain yogurt

• 1/2 tsp. salt

• Olive oil

Place yogurt and salt in a saucepan; whisk over low heat briefly. Allow to cook over low heat without stirring again for about thirty to forty-five minutes or until liquid evaporates. The mixture should resemble cottage cheese curds. Remove saucepan from heat and allow to cool before squeezing out any excess moisture with hands. Crumble mixture into a bowl; drizzle with olive oil.

 

Suggestion: Serve as a dip for fresh dates.

 

Note: Chammi is traditionally eaten with hands at room temperature.
