Ingredients:
- 1 litre milk, full fat
- 3-4 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp chilli flakes
- 1 tbsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh coriander
After Curdling
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 1 tbsp fried garlic chips
- Salt to taste
- 1 cup water to wash
Method:
- Heat the milk in a pan. Once the milk is heated, Add the vinegar or lemon juice gradually, stirring gently. The milk should begin to curdle, forming curds (solid) and whey (liquid).
- Put all the mentioned ingredients and keep stirring.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
- Rinse the curds under cool water to remove any residual whey and vinegar/lemon juice. Gently squeeze out excess water, then mix in salt, oregano and garlic chips.
- Gather the cheesecloth and twist it to form a ball of cheese. You can hang the cheesecloth bundle to let it drain further, or press it with a heavy object to remove more moisture if you prefer a firmer cheese.
- Once the cheese has reached your desired consistency, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
