INGREDIENTS
- 30 grams Island Creek White Sturgeon caviar
- 1 bunch scallions (about 5 scallions)
- 7 Tbs olive oil
- 2 Tbs finely chopped parsley
- 1 small shallot minced

Preheat the broiler to HIGH and position a rack 2 inches from the heat. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle the scallions with 1 Tbs of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.Broil the scallions, turning occasionally, until they’re tender and charred, 2 to 3minutes. Let cool completely, then finely chop.
-
In a small bowl, whisk the charred scallions with the parsley, shallot, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and the remaining 6 tablespoons (about ⅓ cup) of olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice, if needed.
-
Smear the labneh in the bottom of a shallow bowl, creating a well in the middle with the back ofyour spoon. Drizzle the scallion oil over the labneh and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
