This dip has earthy flavors. As I read through the recipe I realized it would be great for barbecues because there’s no dairy.

First let’s start with the Za’atar seasoning. What is this? It’s a wonderful seasoning with some familiar ingredients. Thyme, marjoram, sesame seeds and sumac. Okay! Sumac is an Arabic seasoning mainly used across the Middle East and some parts of Africa. If you have dried thyme then just grind all the seasonings with sea salt.

Now the dip. I am not a fan of eggplant but in this dip I can see using it to help give depth to the dip. Of course, you use beans. White beans. Usually a dip with beans we have uses pinto beans. Except now. The roasting of the veggies in olive oil and seasonings will make for a great dip.

What veggies to use? Carrots are often used. You could use celery, cucumbers, or pita chips. I wonder how plantain chips would be? 🤔
