There are many versions of laban, some thick, some light to the point of being almost liquid. This is laban prepared as I enjoyed it as the guest of a Saudi Arabian family whose mother was originally from Lebanon. It was brushed over a medium-rare spit-roasted leg of lamb that was then cooked until well done and crisp with browned milk solids; the remainder of the laban was served in a small bowl.
