Labneh and Fried Artichokes

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Make the Labneh

    Place the yogurt in a cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Let it drain in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight until thickened.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Artichokes

    Drain the artichoke hearts and pat them dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Artichokes

    Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: flour in one, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs in the third. Dredge each artichoke heart in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Artichokes

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded artichokes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes each side. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Harissa Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of harissa with 4 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    Spread the labneh on a serving plate, top with fried artichokes, drizzle with harissa vinaigrette, and garnish with honey-soaked dates. Serve with warm pita bread.
