1. If you want it very thick, line a sieve with muslin, spoon the yoghurt in, and leave it over a bowl in the fridge for 3 hours. Discard the whey or keep it for baking.

3. Tip them onto a cold plate at once — they carry on cooking in a hot pan — and cool, then break them roughly.

4. Spoon the yoghurt into two bowls and make a hollow in the middle of each with the back of the spoon.

5. Pour the honey into the hollow so it pools rather than runs off.

Chef’s Tips

• Strain the yoghurt if you have three hours. It is a different dish.
• Toast the walnuts and cool them off the pan.
• A pinch of salt on top makes the honey taste more like honey.

Pairing Suggestions
