Blistered Asparagus With Labneh and Harissa

Labneh, with its rich, mascarpone-like consistency and bewitching tang, is a terrific creamy backdrop for all kinds of flavors. Whisking labneh incorporates air, resulting in a smooth, lighter texture. Here it’s swirled with bright, bold harissa, melding cool and fiery together on one plate—topped with just-charred-enough asparagus. While any harissa will do, Dashtaki recommends New York Shuk brand for its balanced heat and potent spice notes.
