Since I was little, i loved to explore food from all over the world. I grew up in Zurich and had relatives from Vienna and loved making foods from Europe as well as the Mediterranean culture.

- 1 pound Ground Chicken or Turkey
- 1 Zucchini grated
- 1-2 big Carrots grated
- 3-4 Scallions minced
- 1 handful Parsley and Dill finely chopped
- 1 thumb-size Ginger finely grated
- 1/2 cup Bread Crumbs
- 1 cup Old Bread anything you have, white or whole wheat soaked in water and squeezed out
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper for an extra kick
- Salt & Pepper
- 1 Egg
- Oil or Olive Oil for frying
-
Combine all the ingredients except oil into a large bowl.
-
Form the mixture into patties. You can form them in whatever size you like, large for sandwiches or small for cocktail parties.
-
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties, turning once, until browned and cooked through (no trace of pink remains). Alternatively, they can be grilled on a barbecue.

- 2-4 Pita Bread whole wheat or regular
- 3-4 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2-3 tablespoon Za'atar
- 1 tablespoon Rosemary optional
- sea salt to sprinkle
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
-
Cut each pita into 8 triangles and arrange it on the baking sheet.
-
Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl you mix olive oil, zaatar, rosemary. Brush each pita triangle with the mixture. Sprinkle the pitas with sea salt.
-
Bake the pitas for 10 minutes or until it is brown and crispy and allow to cool it.
These are good with hummus, in a fattoush salad or anything you like.
