Za'atar Spiced Meatballs
Super simple recipe and very tasty!! Za'atar is a Middle Eastern spice blend commonly used with oil for dipping pita or flatbreads or as a main ingredient in hummus. This delightful seasoning is also perfect when you're looking for some of your own food fusion cuisine and I used it to enhance and spice up chicken, fish and vegetables. I used our Syrian Za'atar blend for this recipe although I am sure our Salt Free Israelian Za'atar would be just as flavorful.
These tasty meatballs were served over whole wheat couscous to make a quick dinner. Next time I will make extra and freeze them to use in other recipes.
