Cottage Cheese and Yogurt
Recipe Description
Iab is a white curd Cheese very much like the Greek feta. Special herbs are added (and sometimes chopped vegetables) which give it its characteristically acid taste. Since the Cheese used in Ethiopia is not available here, this recipe is an attempt to simulate lab.Ingredients

- Combine: 1 Ib. SMALL-CURD cottage cheese or farmer cheese
- 4 Tbs. yogurt
- 1 Tbs. GRATED lemon RIND
- 1 tsp. SALAD HERBS
