Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Labneh

    If you don't have store-bought labneh, you can make your own by straining plain yogurt through a cheesecloth for about 12-24 hours until it reaches a thick consistency.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can also use a mortar and pestle to grind the garlic into a paste.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the labneh, minced garlic, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 4

    Add Olive Oil

    Drizzle the olive oil into the mixture and stir gently to combine. This will add flavor and richness to the labneh.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Labneh

    Transfer the garlic labneh to a serving dish. Use the back of a spoon to create a slight well in the center, which will hold additional olive oil if desired.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    If using, sprinkle the chopped parsley, sumac, and toasted pine nuts over the labneh for added flavor and a beautiful presentation.
