Main Dishes • Turkish
Description
For lovers of pork and those who do not prefer beef, it can be substituted with pork or lamb, but traditionally this dish is made from either lamb, veal, or even chicken. Za'atar is a spice blend that is a key component of Turkish cuisine, primarily made from hyssop (a type of thyme). It is widely used in the Middle East. However, if you do not have it, you can simply replace it with thyme, reducing the amount, as za'atar has a milder flavor than thyme.
