Rice pilaf with labneh is cooked rice pilaf combined with labneh, a thick, tangy strained-yogurt cheese. The labneh may be stirred in after cooking or served on top, giving the rice a creamy finish.
Cook the rice pilaf until tender, then fold in labneh off the heat or spoon it over each serving. Adding it at the end preserves its fresh, tangy taste and keeps the rice from becoming overly wet.
Long-grain rice is a good choice for rice pilaf with labneh because it tends to stay separate after cooking. Rinse and drain the grains well, then fold in the labneh gently so the finished dish does not turn mushy.
No, rice pilaf with labneh is not necessarily the same as Lebanese rice. Lebanese rice often refers to rice cooked with vermicelli; adding labneh makes a different variation rather than defining the traditional dish.
Yes, you can cook the pilaf ahead, but stir in the labneh close to serving for the freshest texture. Cool and refrigerate the cooked rice promptly, then reheat it thoroughly before adding the labneh.
Use thick labneh and mix it into rice that has been cooked and drained properly. Add it gradually off the heat rather than stirring it into the cooking liquid, and stop once the rice is lightly coated.
Serve rice pilaf with labneh alongside grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad. Bright, acidic sides such as a lemon-dressed salad balance the labneh’s creamy tang without making the meal feel too rich.
You can freeze rice pilaf with labneh, but the labneh may separate or become grainy when thawed. For better texture, freeze the cooked pilaf without labneh and stir in fresh labneh after reheating.
Keep rice pilaf with labneh in a covered container in the refrigerator and aim to eat it within a day. Cool it promptly after cooking; cooked rice should not sit at room temperature for extended periods.
People with diabetes can include rice pilaf with labneh, but the rice may raise blood glucose. A modest serving paired with vegetables and a protein food can make a more balanced meal; follow your individual care plan.

Rice pilaf with labneh combines cooked rice with labneh, a thick, tangy strained-yogurt cheese common in Levantine cooking. It is not tied to one well-established regional recipe: the labneh may be stirred through the rice for a creamy finish or served alongside it, depending on the cook.
The pilaf is soft and gently savoury, with labneh adding a cool, tart contrast. It works as a side dish or a simple meal, and pairs well with roasted vegetables, herbs or grilled foods. It is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with a little protein from the labneh. For a lighter serving, keep added oil modest and add a fresh salad.
