Za'atar-Tomato Appetizer
2 Tablespoons dried
thyme
1 Tablespoon sumac
2 teaspoons sesame
seeds, toasted
1/2 teaspoon table
salt
1 pint cherry
tomatoes
1 recipe fresh Flatbread
In a small container with a lid,
shake together the thyme, sumac, sesame seeds and salt. This is a Middle Eastern spice blend called "zaatar." |
Cut each of the cherry tomatoes in half
placing them into a medium bowl as you go. Sprinkle with one tablespoon of the
zaatar; toss well. Taste and add more of the seasoning, in small increments,
until you have what you consider a tasty concoction. Serve right away along
with the flatbread allowing diners to pile the tomatoes onto the bread for
themselves.
