Ingredients
- 300 g Labneh
- 4 EL Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 EL Za'atar
- 1/4 TL Sea Salt
- 1/4 TL Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 4 Stück Flatbread
- 1 EL Fresh Mint Leaves, chopped
- 1 EL Pomegranate Seeds
Instructions
- Remove the labneh from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to become more pliable.
- Spread the labneh evenly onto a shallow serving dish or small plate. Use the back of a spoon to create a slight well in the center.
- Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil generously over the labneh, then sprinkle the Za'atar evenly on top.
- Season the labneh lightly with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
- Briefly warm the flatbreads in a dry pan or toaster until slightly warm and soft. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish the prepared labneh with fresh chopped mint leaves and pomegranate seeds for added flavor and color.
- Serve the labneh immediately with the warm flatbread for dipping. It can also be accompanied by some fresh cucumber slices or tomatoes.
