Chef Tip
You can purchase Labneh at many middle eastern grocery stores and specialty food stores, but if you have trouble finding it, just email me for a quick, 2 ingredient recipe that you can make at home. Labneh is creamy, tangy and a great addition to your tapas table.
Notes
* The sweet heat of the Harissa Apricot sauce is the star of this condiment, but you can create your own by adding apricot preserves to store bought harissa until you get a good balance of hot and sweet. The Chardonnay White Wine vinegar adds good tang without being harsh or too vinegary. You can substitute with a milder Champagne vinegar or with any other good quality white wine vinegar. The highlighted products are available at Oil & Vinegar stores
