I really like this recipe because it combines a lot of my favourite flavours from Middle Eastern cooking with zaatar, pine nuts, pomegranate, yogurt and parsley. This is a really good main dish for a vegetarian meal and has plenty of flavour. You could make this recipe vegan by just subbing out the yogurt for a vegan alternative.
