Frequently Asked Questions About Chickpea Labneh
What is chickpea labneh?
Chickpea labneh is a dish of creamy strained yogurt served with chickpeas. It can be presented as a dip, mezze, or light meal, with herbs, olive oil, or other toppings depending on the recipe.
How do you make chickpea labneh?
Chickpea labneh is made by spooning cooked chickpeas over thick labneh and adding seasonings. For a smooth dip, spread the labneh first, then top it with warm chickpeas, olive oil, and herbs.
Is chickpea labneh the same as hummus?
No, chickpea labneh is not hummus. Chickpeas are usually served with labneh, a strained yogurt, while hummus blends chickpeas with ingredients such as tahini and lemon into a single purée.
Is chickpea labneh a Turkish or Middle Eastern dish?
Chickpea labneh belongs to the broader Middle Eastern tradition of serving legumes with strained yogurt. Similar combinations appear across the region, and the exact name and preparation can vary from one country or household to another.
What should you serve with chickpea labneh?
Serve chickpea labneh with warm flatbread, pita, or crisp vegetables for dipping. It also works as part of a mezze spread alongside olives and salads, or as a topping for grain bowls.
Can you make chickpea labneh with canned chickpeas?
Yes, canned chickpeas work well in chickpea labneh. Drain and rinse them, then warm them briefly with olive oil and seasonings if you want a warm topping; cool them first for a chilled version.
How do you keep chickpea labneh from getting watery?
Use thick labneh and drain the chickpeas well to keep chickpea labneh from turning watery. Add juicy toppings, such as chopped tomatoes, just before serving rather than mixing them into the labneh ahead of time.
Can you use Greek yogurt instead of labneh in chickpea labneh?
Yes, thick Greek yogurt can stand in for labneh in chickpea labneh. For a closer, firmer texture, strain the yogurt through a clean cloth in the refrigerator before assembling the dish.
How long does chickpea labneh last in the fridge?
Chickpea labneh keeps best in a sealed container in the refrigerator, with the chickpeas stored separately from the labneh if possible. This helps prevent the yogurt from thinning; use clean utensils when serving.
Can you freeze chickpea labneh?
Freezing chickpea labneh is not recommended because labneh can separate and become grainy after thawing. The chickpeas freeze better on their own, so add freshly prepared labneh after they have thawed.

What is Chickpea Labneh?
Chickpea labneh is the name used here for nohutlu lebenî, a savoury chickpea dish made with a tangy yogurt or leben base. It belongs to the food traditions of the eastern Mediterranean and parts of southeastern Anatolia. Recipes vary by region, and the result may be spoonable like a thick soup or served with a more substantial consistency; herbs such as mint and garlic may be added.
The creamy, gently sour dairy base contrasts with the chickpeas’ soft, earthy bite. It works as a warm starter or light meal, with flatbread and fresh herbs, or alongside a salad. Chickpeas and yogurt make it a useful source of protein and fibre; a 100 g portion has 9.1 g of protein. For a lighter serving, keep added oil modest.
