Look, za’atar and I, it’s simply a love affair. Unconditional love. Until death do us part. And if you also put it on delicious crunchy home-baked crackers, you get a glimpse of paradise. According to myself that is.

Dips, sauces, spreads … I love them. With vegetables, on a cracker, just like that… this is one of them. Delicious, surprising also because of the dried mint in it. You don’t expect that. If you don’t know it’s in there…

I can never eat enough spinach. In every variation, this is my all-time favorite vegetable. In this pie, spinach doesn’t attract all the attention, but more than enough to please me. The caramelized onion and walnuts make it a festive little dish. It’s a winner. Delicious as an appetizer, snack or side dish.

If you love garlic, and have a little bit of patience, this is totally your recipe. You can serve this as a dip, or use it with vegetables, for example. It is a very classic Lebanese dip/sauce that is often standard on the table. Just for the sake of it. Simply because it cannot be missed.
