with preserved lemon
This recipe was originally written to make 6 servings.
Za’atar is a favorite spice blend among our community members. Along with sweet and tart preserved lemon, it adds an unexpected rich and fresh flavor to this otherwise classic green vegetable.
Smarts: If you can’t find preserved lemon, you can use thinly sliced lemons or just skip it and squeeze some extra lemon juice over top at the end.
