Roasted Carrots over Labneh with Chimichurri Labneh
Roasted Carrots over Labneh with Chimichurri
Labneh is a simple homemade Mediterranean cheese made with Greek yogurt. You can find it in the dairy section in many grocery and specialty food stores today. If you are unable to locate it at your grocery store, you can use yogurt, cream cheese, sour cream, or mascarpone in place of it, but you won’t get quite the same flavor and texture.
