Al Farawlah al tazjah ma'a al labn I found this easy, refreshing recipe, along with these comments, at about.com: http://moroccanfood.about.com/od/dessertsandcookies/r/strawberries_yogurt_dessert.htm
It's about as simple as can be, and is surely versatile enough; here's the recipe:
This one is so easy, it hardy needs photographs; however, since I was making it along with various other Mediterranean foods one day, I snapped a few shots. Here are the goods: Due to a miscommunication, only one pound of strawberries was brought up from the freezer, but no worries, you get the idea. For yogurt, I went with what we had available. Full-fat plain or Greek yogurt would probably be preferable, but this worked without any real problems. Since it was vanilla yogurt, the addition of Vanilla extract was probably not necessary, but since I love vanilla, I added it. As I said, this is pretty easy to do; first, I drained the liquid from the strawberries: In a good kitchen, nothing (or, at least, very, very little) goes to waste; in this case, I reserved the juice and added it to some lemonade that I made. Next, I cut the strawberries into chunks: Due to the fact that they were frozen and then thawed, there was still quite a bit of juice, but no worries. I then added the yogurt to the strawberries: Since I was preparing this dessert for 6 people, I added the entire carton; this is considerably more than the ratios called for in the recipe, but once again - no worries. Next came a very generous splash of vanilla: I elected not to add any additional sugar, due to the fact that the yogurt and strawberries together seemed sweet enough. One could, of course, add sugar if desired. That's pretty much it - see, I told you it was easy! After stirring the ingredients together: I covered the dessert and put it into the refrigerator for a couple of hours in order to allow everything to mingle. The next time I saw this wonderful concoction, I was serving it up as part of a wonderful Mediterranean-style supper: Other notable dishes served were barbecued ribs with a Greek-inspired rub, vinegar-soaked cucumber slices and sliced pita bread, with hummus and home-made tzatziki for dipping. Unique, easy and delicious - this wonderful dessert from the Maghreb was a terrific end to a very enjoyable dining experience that was enjoyed be everyone. It's certainly worth a try, if you're looking for a refreshing compliment to a North African or Mediterranean meal. |

Ciao Tas,
This is a lovely way to serve fruit.
Unfortunately strawberry season is over, however, we have divine fresh figs, wild fresh rasberries, peaches & nectarines ... So, easy easy recipe ... and I shall employ real Greek Yogurt which I pick up by the Kilo in Lidl, an established German Supermarket chain, which caters to multi ethnic tastebuds.
Too bad, you do not have Lidl in Montana. Their sales are sales, and their pricing is quite good, and their array of foreign items ranging from Italy, Turkey, Greece, Germany, France, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, Rumania, amongst other nations, is quite extensive. I love their Greek Yogurt, their cheeses, charcuterie and their sausages and smoked salmon.
I have several Moroccan cookbooks which have the recipe dishes, in both Moroccan Arabic and English or Spanish; so if you need any help I thought to begin a Moroccan Glossary and a Turkish & Egyptian one, I can do too.
After 20.00 hrs., I am normally not online to post; I have FOW in my Bookmark for glancing and making some notes, to reply the following day. I knew the word LABN denotes Yogurt, because I am quite a fan of LABNEH which is a spiced Yogurt in Egypt and Port Haifa.
Thanks for posting.
Kind regards.
Marge.

Looks an awful lot like a dessert my grandma used to make, 'cept she
used mixed fruit so it had strawberries, cherries, apples, raisins, etc. in it. Basically whatever fruit she had on hand.
Mmmm. yummy.

Looks great Ron! I'll be trying this soon.
Here's a suggestion... make your own vanilla extract. It's super cheap compared to the store bought stuff.

Glad you liked it Darko ~ it's too easy not to try, and although I love the strawberries, I am sure that one could use any fruit that they prefer.
Mike - we make a similar "fruit salad," but have always used sour cream - i do like this yogurt version, and the clean, refreshing flavours that it provides.

Tas,
Greek or Greek Style Yogurt is very very good for you.
I have one or two for Breakfast with a variety of energizers; almonds, walnuts or hazelnuts and some fresh seasonal fruit or Turkish Figs or some kernels of Muselli Swiss Cereal.
Then, I have my Espresso enroute to work at the Bar next door.
Marge.
