Equipment

  • 1 food processor
  • 1 silicone spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups Labneh homemade or store-bought
  • ½ cup fresh basil stems removed and packed
  • ¼ cup fresh mint stems removed and packed
  • ¼ cup Italian parsley stems removed and packed
  • 2 tbsp habanero extra-virgin olive oil I used 2 but it was definitely my max heat level; may regular EVOO and add a jalapeño for heat
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • kosher salt
  • extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Add all of the ingredients (except both extra-virgin olive oils) to the bowl of a food processor and blend for a good 20 seconds. Scrape down the sides using a silicone spatula; blend for another 15 seconds.
  • With the motor still running, slowly start to drizzle in the habanero extra-virgin olive oil; blend for another 20 seconds. Taste, add a bit more salt (if needed).
  • Serve on a plate and garnish with fresh herbs, olives, and a drizzle of lemon extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Serve this seriously addicting dip with warm pita bread, crudités, or crunchy kettle-cooked potato chips.

Notes

Store dip in an air-tight container in the fridge for 3 days.
