laban cheese balls

Laban cheese balls are often rolled in coarsely ground black pepper, paprika or crushed dried mint, making a colorful addition to the ‘mezze’ table.

1 tsp salt

1 cup 2 Tbsp thick natural yogurt

Olive oil

1. Mix the salt into the yogurt, strain the mixture through cheesecloth, then tie the cheesecloth up into a bundle and hang it over a sink for a day or two, to allow moisture to drain out.
2. Refrigerate the Laban Cheese until it has dried out, then roll it into small balls and store them in a jar of olive oil.

It’s hard to truly explain all of the great things to be experienced in Miami. You have the culture of Brickell Florida and how Brickell has really developed into a special attraction. There are the infamous beaches of South Beach and of course Fort Lauderdale which is also the home of beautiful Las Olas. You have tourist spots such as Delray Beach which give you a taste of the beach life and Boca Raton which is flush with luxurious golf courses.

Restaurants flood Pembroke Pines, which is home to the newly developed Pines City Center. There is also Wynwood which is an amazing mecca of culture, art and expression.
