Who among us doesn’t love pancakes? What’s more important is that there are dozens of ways to prepare them! Sweet, savory, with fruits, with vegetables, with jam, with chocolate spread—in other words, everyone can find their favorite flavors and toppings. Today, we have a recipe for pancakes with spinach and a quick labneh sauce that you’re sure to enjoy, so there’s no time to waste!
Labneh is a slightly salted and thick yogurt cheese made according to a Middle Eastern recipe. You can add it to sandwiches, cream soups, or breakfast bowls, for example. Additionally, it serves as an excellent substitute for ricotta, so try using it as an ingredient in tarts or cakes. In summary, labneh is a versatile product that will be useful in any refrigerator!
We start by preparing the pancakes. In a large bowl, we mix the eggs, all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, melted butter, and sparkling water. After that, we let the batter rest for 15 minutes. Next, we heat a pan and fry the pancakes (when frying the first pancake, it’s helpful to use a small amount of clarified butter or oil).
We peel and finely dice the onion, then gently sauté it in olive oil. After 5 minutes, we add the spinach. We mix everything and cover it with a lid.
After another 2-3 minutes, we stir again and add lemon juice, sumac, and minced garlic. We then sauté the mixture for another 2-3 minutes and season with salt and pepper to taste. We generously spread the spinach on the pancakes, roll them up, and lightly sauté them again, so now it’s time to prepare the sauce.
We mix the labneh with minced garlic, lemon juice, and freshly ground pepper. We enjoy the hot pancake immediately, generously spreading it with the sauce.
Bon appétit!
Labneh is a slightly salted, thick yogurt cheese that is prepared according to a Middle Eastern recipe.
It is ideal for sandwiches, as a base for cottage cheese with radish and chives, or as an addition to a breakfast bowl with dried fruit, fruit and honey. It also makes a great substitute for ricotta – try it as an ingredient in cheesecake, tart or pancake filling. Spread on fresh, crispy bread, pita or crackers, it will make you feel like heaven in your mouth. You can serve it with green or red pesto and add it to baked vegetables or cream soups.
This Middle Eastern cheese also makes a great duo with spicy harissa. You can combine these ingredients yourself at home, but for those who don’t like dirty dishes, we have a perfect solution!
