  • I roast salmon topped with zaatar and serve it with roasted carrots with a bit of yogurt that I mix with herbs & spices, and roasted cauliflower tossed with ras el hanout. And a bit of a salad with pepper, cucumbers, feta, mint, cilantro & parsley.

  • We are making roasted cauliflower, broccoli and Brussel sprouts and tossing with the sauce normally used for chicken wings. (In our case, a red Thai curry, but Buffalo sauce works just as well).
