What is Kechek (Kishk)?
Kechek or Kishk is a Lebanese dairy delicacy, essentially made from yogurt that has been sun dried on someone's house roof!
The result is a long-lasting, chemical free and process free dairy product, that can be kept as a powder all over winter or from year to year, and used in cold weather to prepare kishk (kechek) soup or meat stew with kisk (kecheck) sauce. This is because kecheck (kishk) has such a heating / warming effect on your body.
Alternatively, it is mixed with tomato and used all year long in the famous manakish, or Lebanese pizzas if you prefer.

Cook on low-medium heat while stirring from time to time in order to avoid that the Kishk (Kechek) sticks to the casserole bottom.
Stir well in the middle at the perimeter of your stove flame in particular.
Keep cooking until the meat is done and serve with vermicelli rice.
