Labneh

This strained yoghurt, with its subtle, sour lemony taste, is used in all sorts of sweet and savoury Middle Eastern dishes. Try to use a farmhouse-made yoghurt rather than a commercial brand for the best flavour. You can add labneh to spicy meat dishes or serve on top of salads and roasted vegetables. It is also delicious with honey and toasted hazelnuts or pistachios, as well as with summer berries or winter compote.
