Tri-Cheese and arak dip
  • Serves 4
Author Notes

I am not planning to watch the Super Bowl, even though it takes place in Dallas this year; but this is a perfect excuse to make a cheesy, creamy, pungent dip with a splash of arak and some freshly made french fried potatoes. —Taste of Beirut

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 3 ounces Blue cheese
  • 6 ounces labneh (yogurt cheese)
  • 2 ounces goat cheese
  • 2 pieces garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 3 ounces toasted pecans
  • 2 tablespoons arak
Directions
  1. Drain the yogurt to make labneh for a few hours or overnight
  2. Chop the pecans in a mini-processor
  3. Mash the garlic with a pinch of salt
  4. Place the blue cheese, labneh, goat cheese, garlic, pecans, parsley and arak in the mini-processor and mix to a smooth purée for two minutes
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning; serve with french fries or veggies

I love this dip, Joumana. The combination is genius and I'm a sucker for all things creamy!
