Instructions

In a mesh strainer lined with a fine towel (a white cotton towel or gauze), add yogurt. Put the strainer over a bowl and let it sit for at least 12 hours in the fridge.

Leave some herbs and mince the rest (use a ceramic knife to avoid oxidation).

Crush the garlic clove with the garlic press and mix garlic juice with the yogurt. Then, add minced herbs and a pinch of salt.

Stir and let the yogurt drain in the strainer for 10-12 hours more.

Grease your hands with oil and make little cheese balls. Put the balls in 4 small glasses or bowls and garnish with the herbs you kept and some oil

Serve with bruschetta or crudités.
