It is fermented food day at Vines of Wellness. Cultured yogurt, water kefir, and sourdough are all rebooted and happily fermenting. They are stored in different areas of the kitchen to avoid cross-contamination.
Probiotic foods are a great way to maintain healthy gut flora.
Above is labneh. This is a Mediterranean dip made with probiotic rich Bulgarian yogurt which has been strained then drizzled with olive oil and a generous pinch of zattar seasoning.
Zattar seasoning:
2T toasted sesame seeds
2T sumac
2T thyme
2T basil
1T oregano
1T sea salt
All of these herbs and seeds are health boosters. They are used generously to top a pita with olive oil and baked until lightly crisp. This Zattar bread (right) is used to scoop up the labneh dip.
This is a great example of incorporating real foods into the diet.
