Labneh Dip with Caramelized Onions and Fennel image

Using labneh as its base, which is a thick and creamy Middle Eastern yogurt cheese, this dip mixes in deeply caramelized onions and fennel along with thyme and savory Worcestershire sauce. Serve it alongside some crackers and crudité for an easy yet impressive appetizer, or dollop it onto grilled chicken, lamb, or roasted eggplant.

Time 1h20m

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium sweet onions, such as Vidalia, chopped (3 1/2 cups)
1/2 bulb fennel, cored and chopped (1 1/4 cups)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus more for serving
Kosher salt
1/3 cup dry sherry
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
16 ounces labneh or plain Greek yogurt
1 small clove garlic, minced (1/2 teaspoon)
Crackers and crudités, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add onions, fennel, thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until brown, about 45 minutes. (If necessary, add a splash of water to keep onions from sticking.) Add sherry and Worcestershire; cook until evaporated, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Stir together labneh, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt. Spread into a bowl or plate; top with onion mixture. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, sprinkle with more thyme, and serve with crackers and crudités.

This dip is a great way to use up leftover labneh. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I'm not a big fan of fennel, but I really enjoyed this dip. The caramelized onions and labneh were the perfect counterbalance to the licorice flavor of the fennel.

This labneh dip with caramelized onions and fennel was an absolute delight! The flavors were perfectly balanced, with the sweetness of the onions and the earthiness of the fennel complementing the tangy labneh beautifully. I served it with pita bread
