I decided to head to Sara's to checkout some things I needed to buy for future cooking projects. Not only did I want the zaatar mix but I wanted to see what they had to make the khanafeh. Yes, they have the frozen shredded phylo dough and ackawi cheese. I couldn't resist getting some frozen puff pastry which I will try out on the remaining frozen sfeeha lamb mix. I got sumac and zaatar along with halloumi and feta cheese. Peeking out of the back is a jar of the green balady olives I like. Not everything I bought is in this photo because I bought vegetables like okra, eggplant, cucumbers and tomatoes.
Then I decided to go back a week later for more olives and check out their halal meat offerings. Although they do have chicken and other meats, I found these, beef and lamb merguez, and couldn't resist. Yummy just cooked in the skillet and eaten with pita and baba ghanoush . . .two other items I bought. I really need to go back for more of all those!
But, wait, there's more!!! MORE olives . . . a BIG jar of the green olives. . . I do love my olives.
I bought fresh pita . . . they have great pita there . . . and some of the Persian cucumbers which make a great salad with tomatoes.
And I couldn't resist getting a shish tawook sandwich at the small grill they have in the back. Yes, I gobbled it down once I got home. I need more!! I haven't been there in a long time . . . because . . . PANDEMIC!! Even though it is close, I hadn't been going inside a lot of stores until recently, I still do curbside pickup/delivery for some places but I have relented a bit on some grocery shopping because it is hard to find some items on-line.
