Za’atar Labneh with Crispy Garlic
Adapted from the Karoun website
Yields 8 servings

Ingredients
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
6-8 garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons za’atar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
16 ounces Karoun Labne
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Pita bread for serving

Directions
Cook the garlic
Add the olive oil, minced garlic, za’atar, and salt to a small skillet and set it over medium heat. Stir the mixture frequently once it begins to simmer. Cook the garlic until it is beginning to turn golden brown and the za’atar is fragrant. This will only take a couple of minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

Assemble the dish
Scoop the labneh into a bowl, stirring it a bit as you do. Spoon the za’atar and garlic oil over the top of the labneh. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with warm pita bread.
