Za’atar Swiss Chards

There is something about Za’atar hitting the oil. This fragrant spice blend is one of my favorites to cook with. Its a goldilock zone of spices which has perfect balance of aroma, flavor and tanginess all in one. From greens to vegetables to meats, you can add this to almost anything to flavor it up.
