Yogurt Cheese With Pita And Olives

We are so accustomed to equating holiness with purity or ethical perfection that we look for the idea when the word holy appears. When things are made holy, when they are consecrated, they are set apart unto purity. They are to be used in a pure way. They are to reflect purity as well as simple apartness. Purity is not excluded from the idea of the holy; it is contained within it. But the point we must remember is that the idea of the holy is never exhausted by the idea of purity. It includes purity but is much more than that. It is purity and transcendence. It is transcendent purity.

1/4	t	Dried Summer Savory
1/8	t	Cayenne Pepper
1/8	t	Ground Cumin

INSTRUCTIONS

Set strainer over large bowl.  Line strainer with 4 layers of
cheesecloth, allowing 4 inches to extend over sides of strainer (do
not let strainer touch bottom of bowl).  Hint:  If you don't have
cheesecloth on hand, use large coffee filter liners, e.g. Mr. Coffee
filters. Spoon yogurt into strainer.  If you are using cheesecloth,
gather cheesecloth together; fold over yogurt.  Refrigerate at least  8
hours or overnight. Liquid will drain out and yogurt will thicken.
Since I use coffee filters most of the time, I jus t invert a large
plate on top of the strainer and refrigerate. Combine sesame seeds,
salt, summer savory, cayenne and cumin in small bowl. Open  cheesecloth
up (or remove plate). Using a rubber spatual, transfer  drained yogurt
to a bowl. Drizzle olive oil over. Sprinkle with  sesame seed mixture.
Place bowl in center of platter; surround with  pita bread triangles
and olives.  Recipe By     : Bon Appetit  May 1995, pg. 157/RobieLynn
