How to Make Israeli Beet Labneh

1. Roast the Beets

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Drizzle beets with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, wrap in aluminum foil, place in a roasting pan, and roast for 30 to 60 minutes until tender. Allow to cool before peeling.

2. Prepare Beet Relish

Finely dice enough roasted beets to make about 1 cup. Combine with lemon zest, lemon juice, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Stir to mix well.

3. Create Beet Labneh Puree

Combine ½ cup of labneh, the remaining roasted beets, olive oil, jalapeño, garlic, salt, and lemon juice in a food processor. Blend until smooth.

4. Assemble the Dish

On a large plate, spread labneh evenly, spoon the beet labneh puree over, and top with beet relish. Garnish with walnuts, cilantro leaves, and sliced jalapeños. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
