Pita with Za'atar

Lat night was Middle Eastern Dinner Feast. Home made pita bread with za'atar topping that tastes like the original thing. Dough recipe in English here, topping recipe in English here, the recipe is from Saha. Meat patties that I already made a few times and posted the recipe in Hebrew here and in English here, I used around 350g ground meat this time. Home made humus and Persian green rice, recipe in Hebrew here, #2, and a very similar recipe in English here. I didn't use fava beans but it sounds interesting. Bon Appétit.

Warm salad of corn, zucchini and tomato

We have so many zucchinis in our vegetable garden, I decided to make this yummy, healthy warm salad. My recipe is based on this recipe, but I changed a few things. Ingredients: 2 ears corn, husks and silks removed • 1 1/2 tbs olive oil • 2-3 medium zucchinis, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced • 3 garlic cloves, minced • Hot pepper, halved, seed removed, chopped • 20-25 cherry tomatoes, halved • Salt and pepper • 1/2 cup of chopped parsley • 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro • 1/2 cup torn basil Directions: 1. Cut the tip of each corn. Using a sharp knife, slice downward to release kernels. 2. In a large saucepan, heat olive oil. Add zucchini and garlic and cook, tossing, until bright green, about 3 minutes. Add corn and hot pepper, cook, tossing, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, cook, tossing, about 2 minutes. Stir in parsley and cilantro, cook, tossing for 1 minute. Add salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in basil. Bon appetite.
