Top it with hummus or make a sandwich http://www.grouprecipes.com/87202/whole-wheat-pitas.html I made up this salad after trying to recreate something I had on a buffet. I eat it as a side to fish or chicken but my husband loves it on top of hotdogs! http://www.grouprecipes.com/72849/cabbage-salad.html Baked savory chicken dish, spicy garlic http://www.grouprecipes.com/54631/chicken-pakistoni.html For more about Zaatar, see my Zaatar Appetizer post. Zaatar Bread is basic pita bread dough that has been docked so that it doesn’t split into a pocket and topped with Olive Oil and the Middle Eastern Spice mixture Zaatar. It is highly aromatic while baking and a real delight to eat still warm from the oven. We always called this Sumac bread because, more often than not, my grandmother would use ground Sumac instead of or along with Zaatar. My sister is the baker of the family, this is the basic the recipe she uses. I am not much of a baker but I am always right there as the oven door opens just to see if she has her spicing right… ;-)~~ Zaatar bread can be topped with a number of optional ingredients such as chopped fresh Tomato, Roasted Peppers, Parsley, Mint, Crumbled Feta, Chopped Scallions etc. http://www.grouprecipes.com/53391/zaatar-bread.html And on the 8th day, God created shrimps. The addition of dry Vermouth and leeks make for a very sophisticated Mediteranean preparation http://www.grouprecipes.com/42528/creamed-shrimp-with-leeks.html Easier to make that it sounds. These can be served hot or cold. On their own or put them into pita pockets with lettuce or tabouli and tahini sauce. http://www.grouprecipes.com/41854/falafel-with-tahini.html Making a simple cheese is easier than most people think. I grew up eating this cheese. It is very tastey and accepts other flavors well. http://www.grouprecipes.com/41693/lebanese-cheese-jibin.html
