Sweet Za’atar Rolls

It feels like autumn has arrived. The days are still warm but it feels like there is a slight chill in the air and the mornings are definitely just that bit darker for longer. This means we are heading to meals consisting of nourishing broths and soups. And I really do think these Za’atar Rolls are a must to bake to mop up all those comforting soups.
But while we wait for the cold to properly arrive, these soft rolls packed with loads of flavour from the za’atar mix can easily replace that good old garlic bread at your next barbecue.

Za'atar Rolls
This is the second recipe I have made from Joudie Kalla’s book, Palestine on a Plate – Memories from my mother’s kitchen. The book is a tribute to her family, mother and home and packed with recipes for the most delicious Palestinian food.
I tweaked the recipe slightly by adding some harissa for some extra spice and feta cheese for a salty undertone. You can omit the harissa paste but I liked the added flavour of cumin and coriander coming through. The paste can be very spicy so do taste it before adding as part of the filling.

I used two za’atars from different countries. One was from Dubai and the other from Turkey. The Turkish blend was much spicier than the Dubai one so do taste the blend before using. (Of course homemade is always better and there is recipe in Joudie’s book). The filling requires a lot of the za’atar blend and I think you could reduce it by up to a third to start off with. If you feel it is too little then sprinkle some more on top.
Freshly baked with loads of herbs and spice flavours, these rolls are just delicious. Serve simply drizzled with olive oil or spread with homemade labneh and enjoy!

Our next Food Photography Workshop will take place on the 30th of April 2017. It falls on a long weekend so a great way to escape the city for the day. Our goal for the day is to create a space where we all can play, learn from each other and have a lot of fun doing it. Come be inspired, get creative, get more comfortable with your camera and most importantly play. All the details can be found here and do let me know if you would like to join us for the day at the most beautiful location.

Yung6ix Admits That He Misunderstood Akpororo's Joke About Buying A Hit Song

By
Akpororo was recently slammed by rapper Yung6ix after the comedian made a joke about the singer spending over 3 million naira on drinks rather than purchasing a hit song. His DJ, Timmy , also joined in and got really personal. He made videos calling out the comedian, saying his wife/mother of his child was once a sex slave and had aborted six times for a dancer. The DJ also threatened the comedian, saying "Your jokes would put you in trouble and make you get shot." Ying6ix has now admitted in an interview with HipTV that he reacted without seeing the video about the joke. According to him; At first when everybody started....I didn't get to see the full joke. But when I got to see it, I realized it was a joke. Its all entertainment. So no feelings/emotions attached. I knew it was a joke. We all made fun about it and all took advantage of the fact that I was trending and I had a new video out there. I don't see anything coming between me and him or whateve...
