Labneh is a thick, lightly salted yogurt, prepared to a Middle Eastern recipe.
It is ideal in sandwiches, as a base for fresh cheese, or as part of a breakfast bowl with dried fruit, fresh fruit and honey. It is also an excellent substitute for ricotta: try it as an ingredient in cheesecake fillings, tarts or pancakes. Spread it on fresh, crusty bread, pita bread or crackers. You can serve it with green or red pesto and add it to roast vegetables or creamy soups.
