If you have ever been to the Gulf, you would have surely noticed the zaatar manakish on the aisles of any bakery. You might have even tasted the different variations of the Manakish and would have believed that it must be pretty difficult to make them. But that is far from the truth. The Manakeesh recipes are very, very simple to make. They come in all variations, like the Cheese, spicy, chicken, mutton, the options are just so limitless. One such variation is the Zaatar Manakish recipe. You will find different variations of the spice from different regions. Zaatar is a spice made with different spices like the sesame seeds, sumac, dried herbs among other things. I find different labels on the Zaatar stating that it is a Palestinian Zaatar or the Lebanon Zaatar or other regional name. I really no clue what is the difference and haven’t tried to find out also as I simply love it from where ever it is. And the Zaatar Manakish recipe is just perfect for any type of meal. Make it for breakfast or just as a snack or even for dinner, it is a perfect any time dish.

It is a great privilege to get to explore various cuisines and cultures staying in a truly cosmopolitan city. I wouldn’t even have known what was Zaatar, if not for Dubai. I can’t stop raving about the health benefits of this spice, and the awesome flavor and aroma is just too good to be true. The making of the Zaatar Manakish recipe is pretty much same like the Cheese Manakish recipe, it is just that instead of the cheese, we mix the zaatar here. I even have a cheese and zaatar recipe together, lined up for you.
