Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccolini

    Wash the broccolini under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim the ends of the stems to about 1 inch.

  2. 2

    Make the Labneh Mixture

    In a small bowl, mix the labneh with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Blanch the Broccolini

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccolini and blanch for about 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Remove and immediately plunge into an ice bath to stop cooking.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Broccolini

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Drain the broccolini from the ice bath and add it to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly crispy.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, spread the labneh mixture evenly. Top with the sautéed broccolini and sprinkle generously with za'atar.

  2. 6

    Final Touch

    Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the top if desired and serve warm.
