They are one of those foodie panaceas. Hope it goes as well for your mum as it did for mine!

Wonderful recipe. Za’atar and sumac make everything better. Will try it this summer for my mother!

@Niamh – thanks – it’s all down to Yottam (and Sami?). I urge you to try it, it’s one of the best chicken dishes i’ve tried.

@The London Foodie – it’s very unobtrusive and short, easy to overlook. But so easy to make. Lovely.

I admit having missed this recipe altogether from Ottolenghi’s book, and I thought I had tried the most interesting ones. Hmmm, love za’atar, sumac cinnamon and pine nuts, and combining these with roast chicken is a great idea. I always make the green beans, mange tout and chives salad with hazelnuts, it is dead easy but so good.

@Heavenly Housewife – thanks! It did taste pretty damn fine. Their stuff is really good. That book is a GoTo book for ideas and dishes for me.

God, this looks gorgeous. I’ve got to try this recipe. I’ve been going a bit ottolenghi mad lately, but all their stuff is just so good!

@Greekfoodlover – i think we are . Hard because they’re honest. And when i get the thumbs up I know I’ve done good. Sumac was ace on chicken, I also love it sprinkled on a whole host of meze.
