It's also healthier because it contains fresh vegetables and a lot less salt than the mix. This is an authentic Israeli falafel recipe. Enjoy!

Fri, 12 Oct 2007 11:30:00 -0500 http://www.sooogood.org/iraqi_food_recipes/pita_with_zaatar_recipe_zatar.html Za'atar is a middle-eastern spice mixture. The best kind is very green, and contains at least thyme, hyssop, oregano, and toasted sesame seeds. We use it to make dips, dressings, marinades, and in this case: pita pizzas! Simply put, it's delicious. Sat, 3 Nov 2007 11:30:00 -0500 item> http://www.sooogood.org/iraqi_food_recipes/arabic_flatbread_recipe.html Flatbread is incredibly tasty fresh and plain, but even tastier when it has sesame seeds or za'atar on top. Even though we often call pita with za'atar pita bread, this is often misconstrued by English speakers. Pita is any kind of flatbread, and not just the pocket bread that is called pita here in the US. This recipe shows you how to make a thick flatbread more akin to focaccia, and this is what is used to make a delicious snack bread with any variety of toppings. Mon, 19 Nov 2007 11:30:00 -0500
