Traditionally, shanklish is a village cheese made at home; however, you can find it in the fridges of many Middle Eastern grocers. It is rich and creamy due to the straining of the yogurt and has a spicy and salty flavour that makes me hum when I eat it. For breakfast, it is prepared as a salad. The spice from the chilli and freshness of the vegetables make for a heavenly match with the pastries.
