Tangy, thick, and creamy, labneh/labnah/labne is extra strained, marinated yogurt cheese, and gets transformed into fresh cheese. This popular middle eastern cuisine is really simple and prolonged to prepare, yet the outcome is so elegant and savory. This marinated cheese can be paired with roasted eggplant, crackers, pita wedges and many more. One of the healthy way of eating fresh eggplant is to roast it. Smoky flavor of eggplant delightfully makes it totally different from its traditional version. Marinated yogurt and roasted eggplant is so perfect as appetizer accompanied with any non-vegetarian (meat as grilled chicken) dish.
