- Labneh it is arabic style drained yogurt. More you drain the yogurt more dried it becomes.
To make labned balls you can use half to half goat yogurt and Greek-style yogurt or just use the Greek-style yogurt.
Ingredients:
2 L Greek style yogurt
1 teaspoon of salt
olive oil to cover the Labneh balls
Method
1. In a big bowl mix the labned with salt and using the cheese cloth ( or muslin cloth) close the edges and hand it up to drip all the liquid. Hang the labneh up for 24 hours and the rest 48 hours keep it in a fridge under the weight. More longer its drains more firmer it is.
2. In a day 3, when labneh is ready to roll. Roll the labneh into a balls approx. 18-20 g. and place it to a paper tower to absorb the remaining liquid. Let it set for a couple of hours. Meanwhile sterilize the jar, dry it completely, place the labneh balls, let the paper towel absorb the remaining liquid.
3. Place the labneh balls in a jar, cover fully with olive oil.
4. The Labneh balls keep for up to 6-8 weeks in the fridge.
The olive oil will be set, so you have to take out of fridge a jar with labneh balls and bring it to a room temperature, before coat them and serve to a table.
Save the olive oil, because it can be use again for a new batch of labneh balls.
You can coat the balls with sesame seeds, nigella seeds, chili flakes,
zaatar, sumac, chopped pistachios, walnuts, thyme, oregano.

Labneh balls were my favorite go to lunch treat when I lived in Saudi Arabia. I would buy some in olive oil and nigella seeds from the supermarket and have them for lunch in my sprout salads. Perfection!! I'll make them myself now that I'm back in the States..
Ramadan Kareem! thats sound sooo good, one of the perfect breakfasts for me, also add to a labneh extra zaatar or maqdous ( marinated tiny eggplants)
When making yogurt cheese, after my final press I just refrigerate in the covered container - No Olive Oil and it keeps several days. I would think it could be the same when rolled into balls, with no olive oil and just stored in a container in the fridge. However, I do think for long time storage a jar of olive would be best and necessary. Please advise! I do plan to roll them in chopped herbs before storing them. Thankyou🤗

Класс, я и не знала что так все просто👍

Hi Dolma! Do you strain the yogurt at room temperature or in the refrigerator? I want ti try making this for the first time...ready made is kind of expensive...I love having this for breakfast on flat bread with tomatoes, za'atar and arugula...it's like morning heaven...
Hi, yes better to strain in the fridge under some press, and more you strain the liquid out, more better and richer taste will be. Even if you strain for 2-3 days will be amazing! Ask if you have more questions :)
Thank you!!!👍🏼❤️🙏🏼
@@DolmaRecipes how long we can save those balls in oil?
If we can store balls in oil then will we be going to store these in fridge or out side of the fridge?
Please please please reply.
Thank you.
I forgot to add salt before draining. Can it be added after?
Nada merhy
Question I recently visited a village market and they were selling egg plant in olive oil with walnuts would you by chance know how to make it and the name of it
hi Irene, yes sure the pickled eggplant in olive oil with walnuts and usually some chili pepper called maqdous. The eggplants really small size. the recipe I will send you a little later
@@DolmaRecipes ok thank you so much
Hi dolma where can i find a cheese cloth ?what kind of store i can find in please help me to find the cloth? i live in kuwait
Hi Noor, so happy you gonna try this recipe! I have a good memories for Kuwait, been living there ) so about cheese cloth, first of all you can get a look in big carrefour in avenues or in Tavola store ( everything for kitchen) or you can just take a new cotton kitchen towel from Ikea and use it. not a big difference to be honest!
U can use any thin cloth or muslin cloth also
А если обычный йогурт 3% жирности ,получится ?
Получится конечно главное что бы был плотный йогурт ввиде греческого
Can these be coated in herbs and then soaked in olive oil?
hi dear, it is a good question and let me tell you by my experience. If you have one kind of herb like zaatar for example you can coat labneh balls and then cover with olive oil. but if you want to use few different kind of herbs in one jar, it will look beautiful but taste will be mixed inside.
Thank you for sharing. I’ve strained my yogurt for 5 days and it’s still not dry…still kind of creamy. I used a cheese cloth, changed it to a thinner cloth after 2 days. I had it hanging for 48 hours then I put it in the fridge with weight on top. What am I doing wrong?
hi. usually more fatty yoghurt you use more fast the yoghurt will drain. Put under the heavy weight and keep in the fridge. Let me know how it worked out!
