Shanklish Cheese: Tangy Middle Eastern Labneh Balls
  1. Start by placing yogurt and water in a saucepan and whisking them together.

  2. Then, place the pan on medium-low heat and let it gently simmer for 15 minutes or until the mixture starts to separate.

  3. Use a colander lined with muslin or a clean cloth placed over a bowl. Pour the yogurt mix into it and let it drain for 2 hours until it’s firm and dry.

  4. After, discard the liquid.

  5. Combine paprika, zaatar and chili in a shallow bowl.

  6. Using your clean hands, shape and compress 1 tablespoon of yogurt mixture into a ball, then roll it in the chili mixture.

  7. Repeat this process to make about 20 balls, then transfer them to a jar and cover them with oil.

  8. Store the Shanklish Cheese, covered and chilled, for up to 3 months.
