Method
-
For the labneh, line a sieve with a single layer of muslin cloth and place over a bowl. Spoon the yoghurt into the sieve and tie up the ends of the cloth. Leave to drain in the fridge overnight.
-
Cut one of the oranges in half and squeeze all the juice – you should end up with 4-5 tbsp. Peel the remaining oranges and cut into thin slices.
-
Pour the juice into a small saucepan and stir in the cinnamon, star anise and vanilla extract.
-
Place over a medium heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the orange slices and warm through gently.
-
Divide the labneh between two small dishes. Top with the warm spiced oranges and juice and scatter the nuts on top.
