The videos were high quality before but wow has anyone noticed how good and crisp the videos are looking lately?! Thanks for the recipe Laura!
Yes! Is she not doing her classic intros anymore?
I don't mind whatever video Laura makes. I just like the feeling that I'm hanging out with someone in the kitchen.
Me, too!!!
There are a lot of different Zaatar spice blends. Every region has its own take on it, like Lebanese, Palestinian, Jordanian, Syrian (Aleppo)... There are even variations within the same countries. You could say each family or part has its own way of blending Zaatar. Also note that “Zaatar” is the arabic term for Thyme, so the Zaatar mix is Thyme mixed with some other spices.
The “base” mix is Thyme, Sumac, Roasted Sesame, some salt. I guess most “Lebanese” Zaatar mixes would be that. Everyone plays on the ratios, if they like it sort of tangy/sour they increase the sumac ratio for example....
The mix can go from that base recipe all the way to having like 20 different spices and even peanut, roasted chickpea, pistachio powders. Even the kind of thyme they use differs in some cases which gives also another flavor.
I guess the best way is to try zaatar from different countries to try and find what you like and you can always check the ingredients to see what to expect. Different brands will also have different tastes.
I am Lebanese and we make our own blend in our family but I still like having other options on hand too, I like getting Aleppo and Jordanian mixes when I find them at good places. I like them all I guess each has their own flavor profile which keeps it interesting since Zaatar is like something we eat all the time, specially what’s called “Manakish” (on google) which is basically a pizza topped with Zaatar oil mix.
Hope this helps😅
Wow, thanks for sharing! Very interesting
Thank u for sharing! I’m Zaatar lover❤️🙏
za’atar is hyssop NOT thyme
I have only started following you. I am 69 years old and been cooking since I was a little girl. Its always nice to learn something new and learn new recipes.
I had roasted cauliflower in York England served as the main course instead of the roast beef or lamb. It was incredible.
I am anxious to try your recipe.
Hi. What did you put on your cauliflower when you roasted it?
I've always really loved cauliflower!
I say we *crown it the king of vegetables.*
Where's the "Hi guys I'm Laura Vitale"? I look forward to that just as much as your awesome recipes!!!! xo from NYC.
Right?! We missed that!❤️
I'm Syrian and our Zaatar is mostly powder-y, brown in color and kinda sour, similar to the one you're using. Jordanian/palestinian Zaatar tends to be greener and relatively coarser in texture.
Both delicious but you kinda develop a preference for it. I prefer the more sour one.
yess i happen to think palestinian zaatar is best
We would love to try Syrian food!
@@hostesswiththemostess7082 it’s amazing 🇸🇾
Does anyone else feel like Laura raised them? 😂Like food wise...I’ve been watching Laura for YEARS..6 I think. I’m now 17. She’s literally the reason I love baking today! 🤍🤍
Wife and I have spent so many Sundays watching and using her recipes! Love this channel!
Laura doesn’t only have phenomenal recipes but also phenomenal makeup and phenomenal outfits!! 💙
That's phenomenal!
Maybe I’m weird but I love cauliflower 😂 I’ll have to try this out. Thanks, Laura!
I absolutely love cauliflower too!
Me too! It’s so good in all it’s forms!
No, you aren't. I even prefer it to broccoli.
As If I couldn’t love you more you talk about my country Palestine. Love u ❤️❤️❤️
I just appreciate you can cut that without throwing cauliflower shrapnel everywhere. Imma try it.
lol, "shrapnel".... 🤣
Mrs. Laura Vitale, info( you being Italian) 2 fellows named Ian Fleming( Irish), & Albert Broccoli( Italian) produced & directed the 1st few James Bond movies/ 007, Albert's family invented Broccoli as it has not been around but appx. 100 yrs. His family ancestors cross-bred cauliflower with Italian green beans & it resulted in a hybrid veggie they named broccoli, that is why it taste like cauliflower, but is green with smaller florets from Italian green beans.
My favorite way to cook cauliflower is cut up into florets roasted with lots of EVOO, slivers of garlic, rosemary, salt, and balsamic. It is HEAVEN.
Aww Laura, I am really happy that you mentioned Palestinian zaatr, in fact Palestinian zaatr does not contain pistachios and is more green and sour, so you have to try it. Thanks for this super yummy recipe😋
C'est un plat délicieux.
Great way and easy to cook cauliflower. Thank you! You should also show a greek recipe fot cauliflower, is called cauliflower kapama. You might know it. You combine cauliflower with tomato, spices like cinammon, clove, black pepper. It needs olive oil too since it is a lathero which is greek food with a good amount of olive oil. You serve it with feta cheese and bread as is or as a side dish for meat. Maybe some chilli flakes if you want it spicy. Delicious.
Oh my goodness!! This is outstanding!! I never heard of zaatar but it was PERFECT for this cauliflower recipe!! I literally ate the entire head of cauliflower!!! I am going to make this again and chill it for salad! Thank you Laura!! I love learning how to make something new!
My favorite cauliflower recipe! I didn't pre-steam it so thanks for teaching me a better way to do it.
I love the new introduction with sneak peak of how the recipe looks like!!!
Wow amazing amazing amazing
I followed your recipe to the theeth. It was the first to go on the tabel I didn't get a chance to enjoy more of it myself.
Thank you Laura
yess omg i love how your incorporating levantine spices, i recommend you try palestinian zaatar its my favorite honestly it’s amazing!! The difference between them is that the Palestinian one has a more fresh taste
Yumm I made this tonight and it was delicious. I used a spice mix I had in my pantry which had onion, garlic, tumeric, paprika, celery seed, coriander, basil, oregano, dill weed, black pepper, parsley, thyme, cayenne, and cumin. I'm excited to try this method with other spices.
A completely new way of preparing cauliflower for me.
Really a pity that you can not smell the flavors here on TH-cam. Thanks for the recipe Laura! :)
It’s a new way for us too....we are going to try it this weekend. Are you going to try it soon?
Awesome! I’m actually enjoying the changes to your channel💜you glow Laura 💫
Lebanese zaatar 🇱🇧🙌🏻 I'm Lebanese and i love zaatar tooo 💚
I've tried it after seeing your recipe on instagram, and it was DIVINE (as you say).
Zaatar is the best! In lebanon we sprinkle it on dough with olive oil then bake in the oven. Top it with tomatoes, fresh mint and cucumber 😌 It’s called Manakeesh
*_This is an awesome recipe for cauliflower! One of my favorites!_*
Just got a flashback to Laura getting excited about making a rhyme in her croissant video (my first LITK video).
Oh no guys something is wrong in this video😂 where is our favorite line of all the lines
"hi guys I'm laura vitale, in today's episode we are going to roast a whole cauli"
I am in love with this intro format
Cauliflower is so versatile. We have never baked it before...but no time like the present to start. Thanks 🙏
ZAtAar IS MY ALL TIME FAV MIDDLE EASTERN SPICE . Sply Zataar and Labneh 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋 with garlic n olive drizzle .. Yumm .. combo with kuboos 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Just made zatar last week. Easy and delicious. I believe one version uses oregano and one thyme. I made the thyme version. Highly recommend. Tastes great with olive oil to dip fresh pita along side.
basically the original lebanese zaatar is with sumac, the flower of the green thyme, salt and seasame thats all we put the green flower of zaatar and fresh sumac in the sun till dry then we smash them with salt by a wooden hammer then we sift them and we return them to the sun for few days and keep them. we roast the seasame when we want to use or for a few quantity gradually. At our hpme we like it sour so we put 2 kilo of sumac for each kilo of zaatar but others kilo for kilo.
I’m Lebanese and there is no difference between our zaatar and the Palestinian one. Lebanon and palatine and border counties that’s why we share same taste.
We are Persian girls living in Canada and can’t get enough zaatar. We love Lebanese food
I love to cover it in a mayo/mustard spread Then roll in cheddar cheese. Then roast. Yummy!!
Magnificent diabetic vegetable dinner centerpiece!!!
I eat roasted cauliflower at least 5 days a week. SO good, if you’ve never had it before.
What do you season yours with??
@@nebraskafrankcourtny herbs, olive oil, and salt. I have allergies so that’s my limit. You could season it with anything really.
Hi Laura, I don't know what zaatar tastes like, but it sure looks good. I sometimes use a buttery breadcrumb topping.
That's delicious, too. Bbq sounds good!! Love cauliflower!!
What would you eat this with? :) Perhaps something with a similar spice/cuisine palate? or on the side of couscous....? Sorry, I am quite unfamiliar with this cuisine? :')
Hi Laura.
I'm Mariam from Lebanon I've been following you for years now..
I love that you love the zaatar the Lebanese version.
Our version is exclusively made from thyme, sumac and sesame seeds that've been toasted.. And of course salt..
The difference between Lebanese, Palestinian, Jordanian and Syrian zaatar is mainly the amount of sumac and sesame with the thyme and the kind of thyme itself.. And different additives such as sometimes nuts like walnuts and pistachios..
For me all of them are delicious in their own way.
Thank you Laura for this delicious looking roasted cauliflower! This would be great on an Easter table. I am looking forward to making it for Easter.
This looks amazing! Thank you! I'm gonna try it! Thank you!
I love the way you roasted the cauliflower @Laura. Well done! You have a new subscriber.
Amazing!! Another perfect dressing after baking could be a layer of tahini with lemon 🙌🏻
Tahini as dip you need to try it
I love this idea, seems like the best way to eat cauliflower.
My german mother makes creamed cauliflower and it is delicious.
I like it fried cauliflower.
Love the veggie recipes!
I love roasted cauliflower and I love your recipe! Great video!
what a fascinating way to cook cauliflower
Would it be alright to slice the cauliflower into "steaks" after steaming it so I can put the oil/seasonings on every piece? I think that would be OVER THE TOP!! I love this recipe!! I can't get enough of it.
I made this last night, delicious! Thank you.
I love cauliflower that looks so good.
I'm definitly making this very soon. You always have the best easy recipes!
You can do a similar thing with celeriac and its super delicious too! I make it at college and then have it with salad for the week
Hi loura ..we make this recipe but we put tahini sause and pumogranet seed and fresh coriander after oven
Thank you
making this for sure! thanks!!
My goodness that looks amazing!😸
Laura - if you love roasted cauliflower, you need to make mekloubeh - it has fried cauliflower, fried eggplant, rice, chicken, and all of those wonderful mideast spices - girl it is pure chewing satisfaction!
i just realized the intro music hasn't been there for the last few vids... hmm... anyway, this recipe looks great!!
Looks great. Gonna make it today. Thanks Laura.
So i unconsciously said "hi guys I'm laura vitale and for today's episode... "
And shocked seconds later that she did not say it 😂
Thanks
Try zataar mixed with good quality olive oil as a dip with pretty much any kind of bread 😚👌🏻
Dear Laura, can broccoli be done this way as well?
Laura, one of the reasons I admire your channel is that you pull your hair back when you cook. It is a pet peeve of mine when a cook is leaning over food with her hair dangling in the cookie dough or whatever!
That topping sounds Devine for homemade naan
I remember that i subscribed your channel when I was like 12, now i grew up and im 20 but you seem younger than 8 years ago laura! Can you make a recipe video for this eternal youth please 🥴😂
Cooking is amazing.
Mrs. Laura Vitale the major difference in the spices is that Palestinian zataar has caraway seeds, & the Lebanese has ground sumac berries, that is the big difference & the rest of the spices are basically the same
This is much better when you slice the cauliflower into steaks before seasoning, imho. The flavor reaches more of the cauliflower, obviously.
I love cauliflower. This is different than just buttered which isn’t bad. You look like you get your ZaTaar seasoning from the same place I get mine lol. Hope all is well. God bless!
I prefer cauliflower traditional way,with salt, breadcrumbs and just 10 minutes simmering in boiling water and that it.
Lovely, yummy, phenomenal 😋 delicious, aaaaaand simple. 🫕
Something about this video that’s different from others... it’s a good thing!!! Maybe you’re talking slower so it doesn’t seem rushed or the aura is calming... can’t put my finger on it but it was very pleasant to watch
Yeah totally I gotta ask though have you tried it out yet?
Israeli zaatar does not contain sumac, I think, and it's green, but is also very tasty. Will try your recipe now, thank you Laura! 🙌💐
Oh my goodness. Totally need to make this! Perfect side dish all year long. Tfs Laura!
Palestinian is great as well 👌🏼actually Lebanese and Palestinian are similar ❤️❤️ thank you Laura for the great vids
The deference is the kinds of sumc and thyme used in each of them and the ratios
I love you guys so much ❤️❤️
Will definitely give that a go Laura.
Wow 🤩 that looks amazing! Need to try it ASAP!
I saw this video and ordered Lebanese Zaatar, it arrived today so I’m trying this recipe tomorrow.
I think most of zaatar's kinds are almost the same, I live in the middle east and I've tried them all
What is the temperature you set in oven 200degree or more ?
Loving your videos now 💘
Yummy! I hope cauliflower is on sale this week
This looks amazing! BTW, I like skipping the intro, and getting right to the recipe. Thank you.
Looks soooo good. I'm doing this over the weekend. Yum thanks for sharing ; )
Looks great!! Laura Ive been looking for a Chicken Paprikash recipe and I feel like you would do such an amazing job adding your twist to it. Please consider!!😊
I must try this combination!
Wow superb yummy n unique recipe..watching from India 🇮🇳
I loooove cauliflower!!
Love the idea. But what will be left of cauliflower after steaming it for 10 minutes and then roasting for another 20? My english cauliflower becomes soft in like 5 minutes of boiling.
Happy Sunday! 💕🙏😷
Omg I never been this early to your videos before! I love this receipt I can’t wait to try it!
Thanks for sharing Laura I need to try this 🤩
