Anchovies

Labneh

Salsa Matcha

Method

Preparing the Anchovies

  1. 1

    Clean and Marinate Anchovies

    Clean the anchovies by removing their heads and guts. Rinse under cold water and pat dry. In a bowl, combine anchovies with olive oil and salt. Let them marinate for 30 minutes.

Making Labneh

  1. 2

    Prepare Labneh

    In a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer, place the Greek yogurt and sprinkle with salt. Let it drain in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for thicker consistency. Once ready, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle zaatar on top.

Making Salsa Matcha

  1. 3

    Blend Salsa Matcha

    Remove stems and seeds from dried chilies. Heat a skillet over medium heat, toast chilies for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. In the same skillet, add garlic and toast lightly. In a blender, combine toasted chilies, garlic, olive oil, salt, and vinegar. Blend until smooth.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 4

    Serve

    On a plate, spread a generous layer of labneh. Top with marinated anchovies and drizzle with salsa matcha. Enjoy!
