Spicy Farmer's Cheese

Early in the morning farmers go to the street market to sell their fresh homemade cheese. In Egypt, sometimes farmers come to your door to sell the cheese. It's always yummy.

Ingredients:
1- Three liters of whole milk.
2- 16-20 tablespoon of white vinegar.
3- One teaspoon of salt.
4- Chili powder, as desired. I like spicy so I add a lot!.
5- One tablespoon of olive oil.
6- Cucumber, diced.
7- Tomato, diced.
8- Green rocket.

Preparations:
1- In a deep pot, heat the milk on low heat. Once it starts boiling remove from heat.
2- Add the vinegar and the salt.
3-  Let it sit until it clumps, it takes few hours. I usually add 16 spoons of apple vinegar, If it doesn't clumps enough I add 4 more spoons.
4- Put a cheesecloth on the top of a sieve. Put the clumps in the cheesecloth and squeeze it to get rid of the liquid.
5- Put the cheese in the fridge.

To Serve:
1- Add the chili powder and olive oil to the cheese.
2- Add the fresh veggies to the cheese and mix.
3- Serve cold with pita bread.


Be Al-hana We Al-shafa!
