Tangy Labneh Balls

Step 1

Line a colander with cheesecloth (I triple layer the cheesecloth).

Step 2

Scoop out your yogurt on top of the cheesecloth

Step 3

Add salt and mix

Step 4

Tie close the cheesecloth and leave resting in the colander

Step 5

Place colander inside of another larger bowl to drain the whey liquid out

Step 6

You can also hang your cheesecloth with yogurt from a cabinet and let it drip into a bowl (This is what I did).

Step 7

You can do this in the fridge or at room temp (I did at room temp)

Step 8

This will take 36-60 hours depending on your home temperature and the type of yogurt you use

Step 9

Check your yogurt often

Step 10

Once it has become firm, you can roll into balls.

Step 11

I recommend oiling your hands before you start the rolling process

Step 12

Once you have formed balls, roll them in the dried herbs of your choice

Step 13

Place balls into clean glass jars

Step 14

Cover balls with EVOO until they are completely covered. Seal and place in fridge. They will last a LONG time in the fridge. Bring to room temp about 30-45 minutes to enjoy on bread and veggies
