Pan-Seared Za’atar Brussels Sprouts
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.

We tested these before Thanksgiving, and I thought they were just perfect. Love the light and bright flavors the lemon and za'atar add. Will be a nice addition to our (small) Thanksgiving table.
