Vegan Labnieh

When we were kids, we used to impatiently wait for the days we visited our grandmother’s place for lunch, hoping she’s be making her delicious labnieh. And this, is a vegan version of it.

Preparation time: 90 mins

Difficulty: Medium

Extra Tips

For a Gluten Free Version, Replace the flour with Oat flour or Gluten Free Flour, and the Burghul with Quinoa.

Feel Free to omit the garlic if you want a lighter version of the Vegan Labnieh.
