manakish/manousheh - Middle Eastern pizza



This is manakish - Lebanese pizza, one with za'atar and the other one is cheese and meat. Perfect to share to get the different flavours.

Za'atar is a mix of herbs and nuts. By googling it I find hundreds of different recipes. It is usually composed of thyme, oregano, sumac, sesame seeds and salt. And sometimes with other herbs and nuts. The taste is acidic, aromatic and salty, a lovely combination with the cheesy cheese and the lemon - chilli seasoned meat.

Very cheap and very nice! My favourite place to have it is a small lebanese pizza shop in Panania.
