CRUNCHY ROASTED ZA'ATAR CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Spread out chickpeas on a paper towel. Pat dry, then let dry for about an hour.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a heavy rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper, and spread chickpeas evenly on the pan. Bake in the center of the oven until crunchy, about 30 minutes, stirring and rotating every 10 minutes. (The chickpeas will continue to get crunchy as they cool.)
• Place hot chickpeas in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil, za'atar and salt. Store any cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.

ZA'ATAR LAMB, BRAISED VEGETABLES & CHICKPEAS - NORTH AFRICAN

Steps:

• Place chickpeas in a large bowl of cold water and soak overnight. Rinse and drain.
• Cook the chickpeas and bay leaf in boiling water until just tender. Rinse and drain well.
• Place the lamb, 2 tbsp of the olive oil, sumac, sesame, dried herbs and paprika in a large ziploc bag and close. Massage the rub into the meat for 4-5 minutes before refrigerating for at 45 minutes (or a little longer).
• Place all the dressing ingredients in a screw top jar, close it, then shake well and set aside.
• Heat butter and remaining olive oil in a large frying pan / skillet. Cook the onions for around 10 minutes or until soft and lightly browned. Add the carrot, celery and fennel then cook until veggies and just tender - stir well to avoid burning or sticking!
• Cook the lamb in batches on a hot, well oiled grill plate, until browned and cooked how you like it. Cover and let rest for 5 or so minutes before carving into generous slices.
• Just before serving, combine the chickpeas, parsley and 1/2 the dressing with the veggies, cook until heated through (stirring well).
• Divide salad between 4 plates, place sliced lamb on top and drizzle with remaining dressing.

ZATAR-RUBBED LEG OF GOAT WITH FRESH CHICKPEAS, SPRING ONION, AND SORREL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• To prepare the goat, combine the sumac, coriander, fennel, and Aleppo in a small bowl and rub into the goat leg, being sure to cover the entire surface of the meat with the spice rub. Roast the goat until the internal temperature reaches 130°F on a meat thermometer, about 1 hour. Remove the goat from the oven and allow to rest for at least 30 minutes before carving.
• To make the chickpeas, bring a pot of salted water to a rapid boil and prepare an ice-water bath.
• Remove the chickpeas from their outer shells. Add the chickpeas to the boiling water and blanch for 5 to 6 minutes, or until just tender and the outer skin is loose. Transfer immediately to the ice bath to cool. Drain. Carefully rub off their skins, trying to keep the chickpeas whole as you do. You should end up with a generous cup of chickpeas.
• Peel and trim the onions, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Roughly chop the sorrel.
• Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook gently over medium-low heat until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt, then fold in the chickpeas and remove from the heat. Transfer the mixture to a bowl to cool before adding the sorrel. Check the seasoning. This dish is best served at room temperature.
