1949. Psyllum Husk Zaatar Fateer

Apparently, this is a diabetic friendly version of a classic zaatar fateer. It does not spike glucose, nor cause bloating or inflammation as it does not employ conventional flour.

1889. SD Discard Zaatar Galette

There is a gradual shift in my kitchen that's been in the making for years now, and the transformation is not yet complete. Slowly yet surely, I am replacing teflon pots and pans with stainless steel and cast iron; commercial yeast with sourdough; store-bought and shelf-stable flour with freshly milled wheat; among some other micro-changes. 

1887. Savory Zaatar Cake

Wonderful Levant flavors are combined in this savory cake that can be sliced and served with lashings of lebne in place of frosting. Fresh zaatar leaves, olives, cheese, and nigella seeds are only some of the flavor notes. 

1871. Crispy Akawi Zaatar Pitas

For some reason, sambusak is an integral part of our Ramadan iftar table. These crispy akawi zaatar pita quarters completely replaced them this last Ramadan. 

1844. Fresh Zaatar Olive Savory Muffins

Zaatar and cheese is a classic and nostalgic combination that I would be happy to include in my daily routine as it's got hundreds, maybe even thousands, of variations.

1789. Zaatar Leaf Cheese Sourdough Buns

I have a soft spot for all things zaatar, provided that it is a quality mix that doesn't taste like sand. Fresh zaatar is a favorite every time without exception. These zaatar and cheese buns are leavened with sourdough starter, and were a pleasure with a steaming sup of tea. 

1782. Crispy Zaatar Pita Sandwich

This sandwich is a very worthy trend that exploded over social media. It is the invention of a tiny sandwich store somewhere is Syria, and makes the best use of typical Levant flavors that are found in any Arab household. 

1755. Zaatar Saj Scrolls

I realize that there might be multiple versions of zaatar bread recipes on this blog, but we love the combination that much so it is absolutely a delight when a new way is discovered to present it. 

1727. Zaatar and Cheese French Toast

French toast is seriously over-glorified. All it is, is a simple technique of soaking stale bread in an egg and milk mixture then frying in a pan. It is then usually flavored with cinnamon sugar. This zaatar and cheese version is my absolute favorite play on French toast, by far.

1540. Fresh Zaatar and Cheese Kaak

It is always a proper treat when fresh zaatar is available in the supermarket. While a good dried zaatar mix from Palestine is a staple, the fresh herb is almost a cause for celebration. It is the small things that make life beautiful.

1532. Fresh Zaatar and Feta Mutabbag

This is quite possibly my favorite Palestinian pastry, made using a vibrant mix of fresh zaatar, onions, sumac and feta cheese for a special touch of added flavor, all folded in a thin dough.

1415. Dressed Zaatar Manakeesh

I made zaatar manakeesh years ago on this platform and it apparently ruffled a lot of feathers all because there was an egg in the dough. Well, it worked beautifully, yielding great results, which is why I shared in the first place. So here I am this many years later with a more authentic recipe to placate the critics.

1294. Savoury Zaatar Cookie Rings

This is a traditional Palestinian savoury zaatar cookie, falling under the generic term "kaak". If you are lucky to have easy access to fresh zaatar, go ahead and use it here. Otherwise, the dried zaatar mix works just as well.

1245. Fresh Zaatar Kaak

Sometimes lightening strikes and a new recipe becomes an instant favorite. These fresh zaatar kaaks might not look like much, but my zaatar plants cannot grow fast enough to accommodate the increased demand generated by them. So jam-packed with goodness, you will quickly forgive the whole cup and a half of olive oil in the recipe list. After all, what's a Palestinian recipe without a tub of olive oil?

1197. Zaatar Crisps

Ever since I discovered I can easily and quickly whip up my own batch of puff pastry, options have been seemingly endless in both the sweet and savory departments. These zaatar crisps were altogether unavoidable, seeing our love for tangy Palestinian zaatar.

905. Iraqi Nut Lebna Log

Of late, this herby, nutty lebna log has been my go-to breakfast. Requiring no cooking, and minimal prep time, it is a major health kick for the body to boot. The basic strained yogurt recipe we used to also make lebna balls is rolled into a log, smothered in some roasted nuts and zaatar, then flanked by a side of briny olives and fresh parsley.

769. Haloomi Zaatar Sandwich

This delicious sandwich can be made in a pinch as a hasty lunch, but it is so much more than that.
Tasty haloomi cheese is grilled to a golden crust and sprinkled generously with zaatar and olive oil.

736. Zaatar Shortbread Rods

The Lebanese, with the Francophone influence over their culture, have a habit of merging French and Arabic food yielding impressive results. Take the zaatar croissant: quintessentially French pastry with undeniably Arab (specifically Palestinian) herb/spice mix.

637. Boiled Egg and Zaatar Spread

One of my first ever readers of this blog and first ever commentator, the wonderful Nadia, brought to my attention how she likes to have her boiled eggs.

609. Zaatar Croissants

Zaatar croissant in the Middle East is equivalent to a butter croissant in Europe.
