Tomato and Zaatar Sauce
Middle Eastern Inspired
A blend of tomatoes, herbs and spices like zaatar and sumac, this is our ‘uplifting’ sauce that adds a delicious zing to veggies like eggplants, zucchini, squash, kohlrabi and cauliflower.
Throw in some cooked plant proteins like garbanzo beans to make a satisfying main dish. Enjoy with a side of rice, quinoa, couscous, pita, or a hunk of crusty bread.
