Labneh Balls ✨ This is one of my most requested recipes ❤️. It is a middle eastern strained yogurt that has a soft cheese like texture. I use it as a spread usually but straining it a bit extra to form the balls is also great. Growing up with a Syrian dad this was basically breakfast!
Tip: you can strain 24 hrs if you prefer a thinner consistency.
Ingredients: •32 oz plain yogurt. •1 tsp salt. •za’atar to taste. •sumac to taste. •pita.
Directions: 1. add the salt to the yogurt and mix. 2. double up the cheesecloth and set atop a strainer, which is set atop a bowl 🤣. 3. add the yogurt in the center of the cloth, cover it up real well and place a can of beans atop for weight. 4. let sit in the fridge for 48 hrs. I squeeze the extra moisture out when forming balls. 5. coat them in za’atar and sumac. Add them to a container, cover in olive oil. Store in the fridge for a week.
