Elaine, you za'atar just the made a terrific roast chicken!

I rubbed the chook with olive oil and lots of za'atar, salt and pepper and lemon juice - then I stuffed the used lemons up it's hoo-ha along with 1/2 an onion -

It was delicious and the taste of the herbs really came through!

Thanks again for the lovely pressie!

I got a good chuckle out of

that as well. Just picturing Sandra stuffing all those lemon bits into the chicken's "hoo-ha"..........

Bet the chicken was yummy though.
