The same recipe but dukkah instead of za'atar is also very good.lisa dempsterhttp://www.lisadempster.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-60807750675617455862011-01-05T11:20:14.851+11:002011-01-05T11:20:14.851+11:00Check out the fantastic food in the Afghan Bazaar ...Check out the fantastic food in the Afghan Bazaar precinct in Thomas Street Dandenong, Pamir Kebab House is really worth a visitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-23243882971179863642011-01-05T10:50:46.518+11:002011-01-05T10:50:46.518+11:00Food & Wine festival are doing an Afghan Spice...Food & Wine festival are doing an Afghan Spice Banquet this year at the Dandenong Market in March.

I worked near there about seven years ago when I first moved to Melbourne, I ate there basically everyday for the year that I worked there. I nearly didn't leave my job as I was so sad to be leaving that place.
