meal

For her take on this Greek street food classic, Chef Einat marinates tender, juicy chicken thighs in a savory blend of herbs and spices then grills them for slightly smoky char. She serves a hearty portion with pita bread, smoky cumin- and paprika-marinated chickpeas, blistered tomatoes, and thin-sliced red onions seasoned with tangy sumac. The side of Greek Toum sauce—a bold blend of garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil—enlivens every bite of this balanced, nourishing meal.

Greek taum was not for me (very bland, odd texture), would have rated this five stars with tzatziki or another delicious sauce
