Za’atar Rice (dairy, allium free)

• 2 cups cooked basmati rice

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon za’atar or to taste

• Salt to taste

Za’atar is a spice blend - my bottle lists the ingredients as thyme, oregano, marjoram, sesame seeds, salt, and sumac. I buy it from my local Middle Eastern grocery store since sumac isn’t a staple in my spice cabinet.

Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, and za’atar to combine, and pour over your freshly cooked rice. Stir to combine thoroughly.
