Labneh with Green and Red Grapes Roasted in Thyme

This dip combines smooth labneh with grapes that have been gently roasted in thyme - making this combination a decadent, creamy and rich appetiser.

Labneh is a very thick and creamy Middle Eastern yoghurt dish. Often described as a ‘yoghurt cheese’ due to its thick consistency of cream cheese. However, in comparison to cream cheese, labneh has a real tang as it’s made with cultured yoghurt. Enjoy!

Olive oil
Fresh thyme leaves
