ZA'ATAR ZUCCHINI



Za'atar Zucchini image

i threw this dish together when i wanted to do something extra special with zucchini. i was thinking of the delicious zucchini-feta balls the lady at a moroccan food truck in philly used to have me try with my regular falafel. with the addition of the zatar, the dish is very middle eastern, and the feta grounds and warms everything.
