There are plates that are so good that you want to lie down in them. I love to share, but at Kafta<\/a> on Labneh<\/a> it always turns into a little competition. Especially when everyone is allowed to eat from the same big plate – I know, that’s not corona-compliant – but that’s how it was “back then” and I’m sure it will be possible again soon. Hopefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kafta on Labneh<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It doesn’t really matter whether you prepare the hearty kafta on the grill, in the oven or in the pan – in combination with fresh and slightly sour labneh, the little kebabs are simply unbeatable. When we cook at my mother’s, there’s always so much, of course, that the whole neighbourhood will definitely be full. And if they don’t want any, then we just have to eat it up – the figure is happy… So if there’s really anything left over, the next day we spread pita bread<\/a> with labneh and cover it with kafta, roll it up and take it with us – or secretly pack the rolls into our backpacks. Often, a small snack awaited me in my backpack on the return journey – Yaaaaay!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flavour turbo: stewed tomatoes and sweet dates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As if kafta on labneh wasn’t already delicious enough, at some point I came up with the idea of adding some really nice stewed cherry tomatoes and sweet dates to the plate. This was definitely a really good idea, because the juicy tomatoes and the creamy sweetness of the dates harmonise perfectly with the spicy meat (also works perfectly with vegan minced meat for shaping) and the tart labneh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To complete the picture, I mixed some olive oil with harissa<\/a> and drizzled it over the plate. Last but not least, I toasted hazelnuts and added some sumac<\/a> and za’atar<\/a> – perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way: If you want your labneh to be a little creamier for this dish, you can of course vary the time you let the yoghurt hang out. I let the yoghurt hang in a straining cloth for about 4 hours in the morning because I wanted the cream cheese to be a bit looser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now I wish you lots of fun cooking and enjoying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
