Notes
- A high quality, fresh tasting oil with a pleasant flavor is essential. If you like a rich and peppery oil, try our Spanish EVOO. For something rich and exquisite still but more mild-tasting, try our Arbequina EVOO or Italian Nocellara EVOO.
- I often add about a teaspoon or so of za’atar and it’s amazing!
