dip warm pita in olive oil and then za'taar, for a quick breakfast or snack or with a larger meal.
i like to spread labneh (thick yogurt cheese) over a pita, then drizzle with olive oil and za'taar.
i bet it would be good as a rub/crust for fish or chicken too.
you should try it with north african spices: cumin, coriander, allspice, cayenne...and maybe a bit of minced onion and garlic. maybe some grilled onions, slice of tomato, and lemon aioli on it? i had something like this in a french bistro once and it was awesome. i haven't tried to recreate it yet, but i bet this would be close. (it never occurs to me to buy ground lamb.) i don't remember what the toppings were, sorry. possibly none. would a harissa aioli work?
oh. now i see this is close to the kefta recipe above... but the one i had didn't really taste like kefta.
definitely salty lassi - tart arab yogurt thinned with water and blended with ice and a ton of salt. it needs to be SALTY!

Oh wow, I too got that one about "When winter comes heaven will rain success on you." But I got mine in Winter 2004, just as I was going on the academic job market. I didn't get a job. I kept mine too, it's still on my corkboard. Maybe they meant some other Winter...

I use it on pizza instead of oregano, on salads with some olive oil as dressing, as a marinade for chicken, on eggs, on hummus... i like the focaccia idea. With some sliced tomatoes? Yum.
Oh, I love zataar! Here's a bread that's bursting with flavor. I tried it with focaccia dough for the base, but you could use anything bready.

I also sprinkle zataar on fried eggs.

Alcoholic- margaritas hands down (fresh limes though)
Non Alcoholic- iced tea
Gin and tonics are my favorite for something cool to drink while sitting on my patio.
Mint juleps! Forget mojitos, I prefer this classic work of art in bourbon, mint, sugar and ice - the perfect compliment to relaxing on a porch swing or rocker.
Give me a refreshing Gordon's Cup made with cucumber and limes - you can add a splash of Midori for extra pizazz!
I love a Sea Breeze - vodka, cranberry juice, and a squeeze of fresh lime. Ahhh!
Cherry limeade, made with club soda and not plain water. Fizzy and fresh and cold, it hits all the right spots.
