It’s not just meat that you can marinade. These are a lovely summer side dish that would go very nicely with some al-fresco eating, as a side dish or even part of a meze or tapas meal. Za’atar is a Palestinian spice blend with herbs, sesame seeds and sumac. It is very nice mixed with oil as a dipping sauce for bread, or can be used in marinades such as this.
