Method

1.Preheat grill.

2.Make za’atar; combine ingredients in small bowl.

3.Make fattoush; grill bread until crisp; break into small pieces. Combine tomato, cucumber, capsicum, onion and herbs in large bowl. Just before serving, toss bread and combined oil, juice and garlic into salad.

Sumac is a purple-red, astringent spice ground from berries growing on shrubs that flourish wild around the Mediterranean; adds a tart, lemony flavour. Can be found in Middle Eastern food stores. While za’atar is easy to make, it can also be purchased in Middle Eastern food shops and some delicatessens.
