This three-ingredient labneh is a simple, sweet-tart base for showcasing the rich, dark berry notes of black currant jam, balanced by the aromatic, earthy flavour of roasted beets. Garnished with pistachios and feta, and served with pita bread, olives, and roasted veggies, it’s an endlessly snackable, hyper-regional appetizer that stands out on any menu.

This juicy burger is an elevated take on the classic – treat yourself or your guests to a delicious experience that feels rich, sophisticated, and extra in the best possible way! Serve with paper-thin fried lotus for a premium touch, a smoky Chinese Five Spice comeback sauce, fried egg, and peppery arugula to balance the richness of the dish. Tip: If lotus isn’t available, try thinly sliced potato or yucca.
