Thanks, Zainaba, I don't know where I can find an arabic store in our part of New Jersey. I would have to use your homemade recipe, I guess. Thanks for the prompt answer. Ruth Redburn
Penzies spices has very nice Sumac. I picked up a bag last week and made a batch of Zaatar for tomorrows dinner. I really enjoy the Arab influence in foods. I hope I can replicate this great looking recipe.
