In celebration of Za’atar Day on Sept. 23, we asked our friend Chef Fadi Kattan to tell us about the many different ways za’atar can be enjoyed. A staple in Palestinian kitchens, Chef tells us some of the ways he incorporates za’atar in his dishes. Happy Za’atar Day!

Curious to know how we celebrate Palestinian culture in the kitchen? Over the years, we’ve collected recipes by Anera staff members. From yummy chicken dishes to date cookies, we’re sure these recipes will inspire you to do some Palestinian cooking!
