Sweet Red Pepper Yoghurt Dip

Ingredients

• about 1 1/4 cups yoghurt or labneh*
• 3 tablespoons minced sweet red pepper (and a little for the top garnish)
• 2 teaspoons chopped dill
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

You can make labneh (thickened yoghurt) by placing a sieve lined with cheesecloth over a bowl, putting 2 cups yoghurt in it and leaving it in the fridge overnight. You want it to be the thickness of sour cream. If it gets too thick, just stir in some of the water that is caught by the bowl.

Mix all ingredients together and let sit in the fridge for 30 minutes.
