Mato (From Past Date Milk)

1. 1

   Bring milk to a boil and then turn it off.

2. 2

   Right away, add coagulant and salt, stir a couple of times, then cover and let it rest 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Put a piece of cheesecloth or very clean kitchen towel in a sieve or colander, in a large pot.

4. 4

   Spoon the curds into the cloth to drain.

5. 5

   Gently pour the left liquid over, so as to get all the bits.

6. 6

   * if it hasn't curdled enough - the liquid is still cloudy- bring it to a gentle boil again. Half-curdled milk goes right through the cloth and you have no mato.

7. 7

   Eat with fruit for esmorzar (breakfast) or berenar (afternoon snack).
