    Unmold onto plate. Garnish with freshly ground pepper and additional chopped fresh dill weed if desired. Serve with crackers.

  • Dill weed has an ancient reputation for being a good luck symbol, medicinal aid and aphrodisiac.
  • For a special presentation, pack the yogurt cheese into a heart-shaped coeur à la crème mold rather than a strainer. Because these molds have fewer drainage holes, you'll need to refrigerate the cheese for an additional 6 hours.
