Our za’atar seasoning and red meat are a match made in heaven—you’d think they were made for each other (maybe they were!). Apply the spice mix to ground beef with the nifty addition of feta, garlic and nutritional yeast. Plop the browned bonbons on a bed of riced cauliflower and zucchini half-moons, plop on some tzatziki, and plop yourself down to eat in no time.

Preparation
Sauté the zucchini & cauliflower rice
Halve the zucchini lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add ½ the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the zucchini and cauliflower rice. Sauté, 10 to 12 min., until softened; season with ⅓ of the za’atar and S&P.
Prepare the kefta
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the beef, nutritional yeast, ½ the cheese, the remaining garlic and za’atar, and S&P. Form into 6 flat oval patties (double for 4 portions).
Cook the kefta
In a second large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the kefta* and cook, 3 to 5 min. per side, until cooked through.
Plate your dish
Divide the zucchini and cauliflower rice between your plates. Top with the kefta and tzatziki. Garnish with the remaining cheese. Bon appétit!
