Za'Atar makes everything better

[SwampNut]

It's the Mrs. Dash of the Middle East.  Buy it salt free, and try it on most anything.  Today it's going on some really high quality flat breads with garlic, tiny bit of oil, and topped with nut-based vegan cheese.  Those will be cut up to dip in hummus with more za'atar (Dave's idea), and a red pepper hummus.

 

It's great with Brussels, put a thick balsamic on them, za'atar, and then air fry until the edges crisp.  So good.

 

Sprinkle on hummus for a kick.

 

Make a middle eastern style marinara with it.

 

Put on tofu cubes and air fry.

Sounds like a stripper’s stage name.

Not really related, but it was served at the same time...  Dried cranberries on marina on a garlic flatbread....amazing.

Yes it does (OP)

Ok Dave, here's one for you.  Try a sprinkle of Aleppo (Halaby) pepper along with the Za'atar.  It's less than half as hot as the pizza chile flakes, but double the flavor.

Hmmm.... I have a ton of Aleppo pepper from the last time you recommended it but never thought to put it in Hummus.

I like chipotle hummus, and putting some hot harissa on hummus.  This was a new one for me too.  Loved it.  I had a store bought hummus that was slightly sweet and this tuned it up.

I did a hunk of cod with a lot of garlic and za'atar, my dinner group lost their minds.  Everyone said it was at least as good as any fish they ever had.

I would try that.
