Equipment

  • 1 garlic press
  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 fork
  • 1 set measuring spoons

Ingredients

  • 2 cloves garlic large
  • 1-2 Tablespoons hot sauce (vinegar-based)
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika preferably Pimentón de la Vera
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 9 ounces labneh
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Press the garlic or finely grate and then chop (you don't want any crunchy chunks of garlic in your dip).
  • Add to a bowl along with all of the other ingredients and mix with a fork until well blended.
  • Taste and adjust the hot sauce and honey if needed. Serve immediately or refrigerating the dip for at least 30 minutes will allow the flavors to develop a lot more.

Notes

The hot sauce should be vinegar-based like Tabasco or Cholula or Franks. 1 tablespoon for mild-medium spice, 2 tablespoons for quite spicy. I do NOT recommend using Sriracha.
If you can't find labneh, you can easily make it by straining Greek yogurt for at least six hours.
