Tie the yoghurt into a muslin cloth and place it over a bowl in the refrigerator for 4 hours to overnight.
Collect all the labneh from muslin cloth and use the whey water to make curries or soups.
Chop the strawberries and crush them with the back of spoon or fork and add a teaspoon of lemon juice.
Into the labneh stir in rose essence cardamom powder and strawberry puree.
Fold everything gently and add chopped pistachios.
Spoon labneh in serving dishes store in the refrigerator until use.
Serve strawberry labneh garnished with pistachios and strawberry slices.
Notes
You may serve the labneh sprinkled with olive oil, salt and pepper if desired.I did not use any sugar as my strawberries were sweet but you may add some sugar while crushing the strawberries.The original recipe used a tablespoon of honey in the labneh but I skipped, as always you may add the desired amount of sweetener into it.
