The Alphabet Game: Dishes using Za'atar

[Morning Glory]

Imam Bayildi

I thought this was Turkish - but it seems:

Imam bayildi literally: “the imam fainted” is a Turkish dish from the Ottoman cuisine consisting of whole eggplant stuffed with onion,garlic and tomatoes, and simmered in olive oil. Greeks have adapted this dish by adding Feta to the filling and to this day still use the same title.

Well done.

My favourite olives - kalamata olives

Lachanorizo (which to be honest doesn't sound very appetising) - cabbage rice. Its probably better than it sounds.

Roscoff Onions?

Roscoff is in Brittany I think! We are on Greek food and drink at the moment. Sorry if its confusing but we change subject every time we complete the alphabet. If you look at the thread title it tells you the current theme.

We still need 'R'...
