Delicious libanese spices, tahini and zaatar

I was not familiar with these spices, except of course, as everybody, I knew that the tahini was the specific spice for the hummus.

These ideas came from a specific issue of one French magazine I love, Saveurs.

Tahini is made with sesame seeds. You can make a chickpeas purée with one can of chickpeas, you would mix with olive oil and tahini, salt and pepper. Add olive oil until you get the desired texture.

Zaatar is a blend of oregano, sumac, sesame seeds and salt. You can use it on a fish filet, like tilapia or sea bass. Just spread it one on side of the filet and cook it in a frying pan for 5 min.

Serve the chickpeas purée warm with the fish filets with zaatar. Add a pinch of lemon juice on the fish and some cilantro leaves on the purée. I hope you'll like it... Enjoy!
