Ingredients

- 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) 2% plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp (5 ml) lemon juice
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) za’atar spice mix (see note)
- Olive oil, for serving

Preparation

- In a bowl, combine the yogurt and lemon juice. Season lightly with salt.
- Place a sieve lined with a coffee filter over a bowl. Pour the yogurt mixture into the sieve. Cover with plastic wrap. Let strain for 8 to 12 hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Discard any liquid. The labneh will keep for 1 week in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Place the za’atar in a bowl.
- Using a 1-tbsp (15 ml) ice cream scoop, shape the labneh mixture into balls and roll one at a time in the spices. Place on a plate. Drizzle with olive oil.

Note from Ricardo

Za’atar spice mix is available in most grocery stores. You can also make it yourself by combining 2 tbsp dried thyme, 2 tbsp roasted sesame seeds, 1 tbsp ground sumac, 2 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp ground cumin and 1 tsp fleur de sel.
