Labne with mango and rosewater syrup

Place a thin clean tea towel or muslin cloth over a bowl and pour the yoghurt into the centre. Gather up the sides and tie with string, then hang the cloth in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight with a bowl underneath to catch the liquid. You will now have a thick, soft "labne" - remove from the cloth and refrigerate until ready to use.

Place the sugar and water in a pot and bring to the boil. Simmer for a few minutes and remove from the heat. When cool, add the rosewater, lemon juice and pistachios.

To serve 

Peel and slice the mangoes and arrange onto a serving plate with a dollop of the labne, some blueberries and the rosewater syrup.
